Lighting in our environment-both in intensity and in color, can affect emotions and psychological well-being.
So when you face stressful situations in the social environment or in personal relationships, try staring a little at the light in the blue spectrum.
A small study published in the journal PLoS One, focuses attention on short-term pressures stemming from social or interpersonal relationships.
For example, when you are at loggerheads with your spouse, or you should give a presentation at an important meeting, which determines career success.
In the study, the researchers involved 12 volunteers with a method called the Montreal Imaging Stress Task.
A total of 12 volunteers were divided into two groups.
One group rested in the chromotherapy room with blue lighting, while the others rested in a room lit by white light.
Both groups received monitoring for bio-signals, such as heart rate and brain activity.
After a break, the researchers found the facts, the group in the break room with the blue lights can relax and find peace of mind in just one minute.
While the white light group, takes more than 3.5 minutes to really be able to relax and achieve peace of mind. In fact, some take longer than that.
The authors of this study then conclude, the information reported in this study may affect the technology used.
For example, use blue lighting before you start negotiating.
Then, in the context of everyday life, for example during periods of stress work or while relaxing at home.
