I was bored with the look of my dining room and decided to put a curtain to separate two rooms. It separates the two environments in a nice way, I was also able to give a “different” air to our dining room and that gave me the feeling that I made a major change.
I think that just as we eat with our sight in the same way our mind is fed by looking. The appearance of our environments at home sometimes causes the feeling of visual fatigue, which causes or own gaze to give us a feeling of tiredness. The person gets tired or bored of always seeing the same things in the same place all the time.
By making a small change in our homes we receive the feeling of being in a new and different environment, it’s refreshing to see. We are in the same place, in the same environment but with a different view. It’s then that the feeling of well-being changes immediately in our mind and, as a consequence, in our organism.
That is why I always recommend when we feel the sensation of running out of our own home we first make some physical changes in it. We’ll see immediately how our mood changes.
I do it relatively frequently. At this moment I felt the need to change the physical aspect of my dining room because it’s the place that I always look at, day by day and always the same. At first I didn't feel like sitting on the couch, I didn't feel like being in that space, so I decided to change the curtains.
Shortly after putting the curtain down, I wanted to move the sofa. And so, one change after another, realized that I liked the feeling it caused in my mind. I felt the urge to sit on my couch and did so for a long time. I couldn’t do it before because of how boring it was and my body couldn't tolerate sitting there, now I do.
After laying a carpet and also moving the table from my living room to the dining room and the dining room table to the living room. Both were good changes, both gave me the same feeling of satisfaction. I finally felt like wanting to sit for a long while, in both places.
I eventually did the same in my room; changed the curtains, the bedspread and the pictures. Now they have Christmas motifs, there are other colors and there is a renewal of visual, mental and corporal stimuli.
Everything seems different but it’s the same space, the same environment, the only change is in the visual aspect that causes a change in my mood. Long live our imagination!
As for me, i have no issues seeing the same set up as long as i know that it's clean and that i won't have allergic reactions when i decide to spend my entire day there
