I decided the other day – to change the wallpaper on my phone screen – something that I do from time to time.

I often change it to something that is relevant to me at the time – something that has special significance – or that gives me inspiration.

I find that often – changing the scene that I look at each day – can make quite a difference – to quote – “A change of scenery – can change your entire mindset”.

Of course – here I am referring simply to a picture – and yet I find it interesting that – even so – I can be influenced and motivated by it – my spirits lifted – and memories stirred.- which definitely affects my thinking.

So much of what I see – and do – can have an impact on my life – and there are times when it’s good to change those things.

Times when I simply feel the need for a change – when I need to refresh and replenish myself – when that change of scene can make such a difference – for – “A simple change of scenery – can bring about powerful shifts in the flow of time – and emotions”

There have been many times in my life – when I have been privileged to have the opportunity – to actually change the physical scene of my life. Go somewhere that refreshes and inspires me – surround myself with nature – and sights and sounds that do impact that flow of time – and emotions.

But – those times are often limited – and so – I need to focus on the scene set before me.

To find – even the smallest of things – even the wallpaper on my phone – that inspire – and motivate.

To always look for the good – in everything I see – or – to almost reverse that thought – ask the right question – for – “The question is – not what you look at – but what you see”.

It does take more effort – to actually see – what I look at. It’s easy just to look – but so important – to truly see.

Or – as someone put it here – “Train your mind – to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life – depends on the quality of your thoughts”.

And so I chose – the wall paper that I look at – changing it from time to time – so that if offers me the inspiration – and motivation – that I need in my life each day.

And – look forward to those times – when I get the opportunity – to change the natural scenes – that inspire me so much – and that surround me – everyday.

Blessings – Lois
