Change the way you look at things and, what you look at - changes.
Perception isn't everything but it sure is convincing. The problem is, when you believe something to be true, you tend to sort through information in your environment and focus on evidence that supports the frame of reference you have chosen in your perception. For example, look at the picture below:
Young Woman or Old?
That depends on your interpretation. Young people tend to see a young girl; older people, an elderly lady.
With effort, you can switch from one to the other: the young woman's chin becomes the old woman's nose; the old woman's mouth, a band on the neck of the young woman.
By American psychologist E.G. Boring
As you shift the way you look at things, you are able to take in more objective information and reframe more empowering and useful perspectives on a situation.
Try it. See what changes you become aware of as you shift the way you look at things.
All the best,
Lora
P.S. Here is another one just for kicks. Vases or faces?
