The Colour Red
– Trust, Passion & Confidence

The Wheel of Colours has 13 fields and 13 colours – each field represents a different challenge, gift or lesson we have to master in our lifetimes and the colours in our unique wheel show us how each of us, can master them best, with our unique abilities.

We are all made up of the same colours, but the colours are arranged differently for each of us on our wheels.

For example, red is the colour for trust, passion & confidence – something we all need to develop in our lifetimes to thrive – but some of us are already born with (more of) it, while others have to build it by going through the lessons they have to learn in this lifetime.

Which is true for you?
You might be able to guess, looking at your life and how you feel. But if you want to be sure, you can order your unique Wheel of Colours now.

If you do know already and are one of the people who still needs to work on building their trust, passion & confidence in this lifetime – then let me show you some practical ways how to do that in this article.

We all have things we already know – either because we came into the world knowing, or because these are things we learned growing up – and other things we still have to learn.

But even if trust, passion and confidence are qualities that come to us naturally – sometimes we forget, or doubt, or we don’t know when we need them the most, so the Wheel of Colours can help us to remember this.

Wherever the colour red appears on your unique wheel – that’s where you need trust, passion and confidence the most.

Now, let’s have a look at what we can do to strengthen these qualities in our lives.

*According to the wheels I’ve made so far. I will update this occasionally.
The centre represents our core, our essence, the first six fields show the colours which come to us naturally, that we are born with, and the later ones represent the colours/lessons we have to learn, often painfully, to thrive in all areas of our life.

If you’d like to find out in which field the colour red is especially important for YOU, order your Wheel of Colours now.

1. Using the colour red in your environment

If you feel that you have an issue with trust, passion and confidence, then the first thing you can do is to bring some red into the situation.

Do you have some red clothes? A red scarf, red socks, something you like wearing? A red bracelet, necklace or earrings can work as well.

Have you ever seen anyone wear red lipstick or nail polish, who didn’t also look confident?

If you find this scary or too much, start in your home – bring some red flowers or plants with red blossoms into your home.

Or hang up one or more artworks, photos, posters that have plenty of reds in them.

You might even want to paint a wall in your home red or get red curtains.

Or just sit and think/mediate on the colour red for a while. What comes up? What do you feel?

Why do you think the stereotype about men buying a red car in their midlife crises is so real? What do you think they want to express?

That they are powerful and passionate!

So what can you do that makes you feel passionate and confident?

Try out a few things that may work for you and see what feels best.

2. How to build trust

If we don’t trust ourselves, it’s difficult to trust other people.

This might seem a bit weird in the beginning, but it’s true. If you have issues trusting other people, they will disappear once you trust yourself.

And to trust yourself, you have to know yourself.

I’ve founded the CREATRIX School, exactly for this reason, so you can get to know yourself and find clarity about what you need, want & desire in all areas of your life.

Because I had massive trust issues, and I’m only just getting over them.

It’s very easy to lose trust in yourself, when you grow up in an environment where you feel ‘wrong’ and like you are not valued for who you truly are – for whatever reason. (Or if you have red in the second half of your wheel ;))

Rarely this is due to people having bad intentions, more often than not it is done to ‘protect us’ and make us behave ‘normal’ or fit in.

But the more we deny and suppress our real selves, the more we struggle in life and the more difficult it becomes to trust ourselves and anyone else – because we lose touch with our inner compass.

But we can rebuild our trust in ourselves, and with that also the trust in other people, situations and our abilities.

A good place to start with this would be the PURPOSE or the GROWTH chapter of the CREATRIX School.

One thing you can also do right away to start building trust in yourself is to always keep your word – and to make that non-negotiable.

If you say you’ll do something – you will always do it from now on – no excuses.

3. How to ignite your passion

If you have ever been told, or told yourself, to be reasonable, you probably silenced a passion.

But if you want to (re)discover something that you are passionate about, you will most likely find it in field 6 of your Wheel of Colours.

And if you make what you are passionate about your profession, you are very likely to go far and be very successful.

So, what are the things that get you excited?

That light you up?

That you could talk about for hours?

We all have them – go on a hunt and discover or nurture yours.

How can you make them an important part of your life? How can you integrate the things you are passionate about into your day?

We can be passionate about all aspects of our lives; about our jobs, our families, about cooking, gardening, pets, crafts, our partners and ourselves.

But for that, we can’t suppress what we are passionate about by being logical or reasonable – where we find our passion is very likely also where we find our genius.

And that means we can do things here that other people can’t.

Maybe we can be a little reasonable and a little logical – but the more passionate we are about whatever we want to do, the easier it will be.

Again, this is about getting to know ourselves.

We each have different things we are passionate about – but more often than not, we have learned to ignore or suppress them and to do what has to get done instead.

So, today I invite you to go and explore where this might be true for you – if you don’t want to do it alone – join us in the CREATRIX School.

If you have a hard time being passionate in bed – or coming while having sex – it’s because you are suppressing parts of yourself – and if you do that in one area of your life – it shows in all.

And if you have an easier time coming when you’re alone rather than with other people – you can guess – it’s because it’s easier to be yourself when you are alone, than when you are with other people. (Yes, I know what I’m talking about ;))

Unhappy at your job? You don’t feel like you are valued for who you truly are.

Unhappy in your relationship? You don’t feel like you are valued for who you truly are.

If you suppress your passions, if you don’t share your gifts with other people, you won’t be happy because you don’t allow yourself to be you.

And the only person it takes to change that is you.

Dare to become passionate about what you do and show it!

If you want to be seen for who you truly are, and do what you truly love, you first have to find out what that is and then do it, regularly, integrate it into your life and show it to the people you wish to know you for who you truly are.

And if you don’t want to go on this journey of self-discovery alone – join the CREATRIX School.

4. How to grow your confidence

If you have learned to trust yourself and live your life passionately, you’re already pretty confident as well, I would guess.

But most likely you’re not there yet, or you wouldn’t be on this page.

The thing that has helped me the most with my confidence was affirmations, especially subliminal affirmations.

Dick Sutphen has recorded a lot, which I really enjoy.

We have to remember that our brain is like a recording machine that repeats to us what it hears a lot, or has heard a lot, whether that’s actually true or not.

When you’ve heard that you can’t do certain things, or that you’re not good at certain things all your life, and decide that that is not true for you any more – you will have to retrain your brain.

And that works best with repetition, e.g. somebody telling you that you can indeed do whatever you want to – over and over again.

On the Hay House audio app, you can find many different recordings by other authors as well. It’s what I use.

Another thing that will help you grow your confidence is to surround yourself with people who believe in themselves – and in you.

Just like you can’t trust other people if you don’t trust yourself – other people won’t believe in you, if they don’t believe in themselves.

If your parents or the people around you, when you were growing up didn’t believe in you – it’s not because they meant any harm – they didn’t believe in themselves, and so they also couldn’t/can’t believe in you.

Researchers have found out that we’re the average of the five people we surround ourselves with the most, so, if at this time, you feel like the people around you aren’t very confident either – see how you can surround yourself more with people that represent and show what you aspire to be.

And to begin, as people might not be lining up for the job 😉 , you can do that by listening to podcasts or audiobooks – instead of the news or the radio.

Start to become really conscious about what you allow into your body – also soundwise – because what you hear does shape who you are (becoming).

The more confident you become, the more people you will attract into your life, who match your level of confidence, and the easier it will become to level up.

And of course, you can also join the CREATRIX School, to have some guidance and companionship on your journey to more confidence.

5. The Colour Red in Your Life

Have you ever wondered why some people grow up under very difficult circumstances and yet, they are super confident?

Or others who grow up in supper supportive environments, yet they are full of self-doubt?

Where do you fall on this spectrum?

If red is at the beginning of your wheel – your circumstances most likely didn’t affect your sense of self-worth very much.

If it’s in the second half of your wheel, though, no matter what your circumstances were growing up, you do most likely still struggle with going through the world confidently (I know what I’m talking about!).

There’s no shame either way, we’re all here to learn and grow.

And, as with everything, where there’s light, there’s also shadow.

So, if you have the colour red at the beginning of your wheel, and are born with the idea of a self, a sense of self, then you might have to learn how to be patient with those who don’t and don’t expect things from them, that are natural to you, but might not be to them.

Instead, see if you can support them in finding their sense of self and self-worth.

The Wheel of Colours shows us, very nicely, that we all have things to learn and things to share.

Each of us has six fields filled with qualities we already possess and six qualities we will have to cultivate over the course of our lives.

I think this shows, quite well, how we as humans are made to collaborate with each other – we each have unique abilities that we are meant to share (and be passionate about) and things we need support with from other people.

We are all one, and we need each other to progress – but the better we know ourselves and understand this, the happier we become, the more we can act on purpose, the more successful we will be – and the easier it will become to contribute to the well-being of all and to safe and protect our planet and humanity as a whole.

If you long for more peace in our world as much as I do, then the best place to start is to create that peace within yourself – and I’m here in all my power to support you in that.
