I've been doing art with my son this week, making things for dad's birthday on the 14th. I also have been hanging previous art work my son did and I did. With a vaulted ceiling in kitchen and living room, and having tall plants I had to hang them high. Then this morning I remembered a tip I learned years ago from a next-door neighbor who wrote for a NLP Journal (neurolinguistic programming (NLP)). She told me that we have a HAPPY side of the brain and a SAD side. To look up and to the right, access the happy side, down and to the left is the sad side.
So hanging art up high will take the eye to the happy side of the brain, thus...happy thoughts and feelings.
Try it when you are feeling sad, and it also worked when my son would cry in his toddler years. I'd snap my fingers so he had to look up and to the right...guess what, he'd stop crying.
Try it with yourself and you family. See if it makes a difference.

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a personal
development system developed in the early 1970s by Richard Bandler and linguist
John Grinder, in association with Gregory Bateson. It uses a toolbox of strategies,
axioms and beliefs about human communication, perception and subjective experience.
NLP's core idea is that an individual's thoughts, gestures and words interact
to create one's perception of the world. By changing one's outlook, a person
can improve his or her attitudes and actions. These observations can be changed
by applying a variety of techniques.
NLP teaches that a person can develop successful habits by amplifying helpful
behaviours and diminishing negative ones. Positive change can come when one
carefully reproduces the behaviours and beliefs of successful people (called
'modelling'). It also states that all human beings have all the resources necessary
for success within themselves.
Bandler and Grinder credited three successful therapists — Fritz Perls,
Virginia Satir and Milton Erickson — as NLP's major inspirations. They
'modelled' the therapists and developed special "patterns" for general communication,
rapport-building and self-improvement. NLP author Robert Dilts calls the system "the
study of the structure of subjective experience".
After more than three decades of existence, NLP remains popular as an approach
to self-help, personal influence and business communication. It is also used
as an adjunct by therapists in
other therapeutic disciplines.
