Tear down some walls, remodel your mind
February 6th, 2010My husband and I are remodeling an 1890 Victorian that sits perched upon the
We’ve just moved beyond the gutting stage on the third floor, respectful gutting mind you. This gorgeous grand lady of a house has been remuddled more than once. So we will accentuate any gems from the past that we happen upon. For instance we’ve uncovered beautiful, herringboned fir floors, and will restore them.
As we looked at the bathroom, we tried to envision a way to make it more than a room that met the basic utilitarian needs. It’s a fairly long bathroom with tub, sink and toilet all lined up on one side. The other half is just a wide walkway, with a large window overlooking the lake at the end.
We had already decided to put in large, deep tub for soaking. After all this is
As our contractor was removing walls and old fixtures, he mistakenly took down a wall that had separated the tub from sink and toilet. And in so doing, he literally opened up our minds to some new and wonderful possibilities.
Just simply by having that one wall removed we saw a totally different scenario. No longer would everything be lined up horizontally along one wall. We could now see the possibilities for playing with perpendicular placements.
It made me think about the walls we allow in our life, our businesses… blocking our conceptual views and closing our minds to other possibilities?
We absorb so much limiting thinking from the day of our birth, on through school and right into the work place. It becomes all encompassing of our creative spirits and our active minds, planting endless doubts because of the life-long repetition. Remember hearing any of these:
Don’t talk to strangers. Don’t talk unless first spoken to.
Whether you realize it or not, these are walls within most of our minds. They are there to greet any new ideas, different paths or innovative exploration. They won’t be as easy or swift to remove as a literal wall, but with conscious effort you can make way to some perpendicular possibilities for yourself and your business.
