How Does the Picture Look? Maybe It’s Time for Some Reframing

A few years ago, I decided it was time to declutter our garage. During the process, I found some family pictures that I had completely forgotten existed.  They had been packed away for years and were grubby and covered with spiderwebs. Even in their dirty condition, they were too precious to dispose of. 

I had the pictures reframed, and what a difference it made. I hung them along the staircase and not only were they revitalized but the walk up the stairs was no longer boring.

How does the picture of your life look? Is it grubby, uneasy, dark, or light, joyful, or fulfilling? Consider stepping outside of the picture. Look at it from different angles. Before you go back inside the picture, modify what you see, what you desire. There are so many ways of looking at your life picture. You may not be able to change the particulars, but you can change how you interpret them. In other words, reframe the picture. When you do, you become refreshed, revived, and recharged.
