What You See Is What You Get!

Is Your View Working for You? We have all heard the saying "What you see is what you get.", but for now I'd like you to think of it in a different way. "What you look at is what you get." The things that you see the most every day have a definite influence on you and on your life. If you have a positive reaction to what you are seeing, then that object or view will have a positive influence. If you have a negative reaction, then you are looking at something that is a negative influence, on both you and on your life experiences.

Take a few moments to think about the places where you spend a lot of time, and how you feel about what you can see when you are there. Think about the view from your bed, your favorite easy chair, and your seat at the dinner table, in addition to what you see from your desk or workspace. Is there something you can do to change your view when you feel that it is having a negative effect on you? You may be able to decide which item is causing the negative feeling, and remove it or screen it from your view. And see what you can do to add something that you really love, to enhance the positive effect of your view.

When you want to do something to improve the quality of your life, decide what you want to get, and make sure that is what you are seeing!
