Up is better than down, most times anyway.
We desire things to be at a certain height, higher than what gravity and ground state would normally allow. So we construct static monstrosities of furniture to force elevation. And keep it there.
A perfectly reasonable and possibly preferable solution is balloons. Rather than prisoning your computer to a desk, attach a few balloons and it will comfortably sail at the perfect typing level. Instead of a dull bookcase, one balloon per book may keep your personal library alive and aloft.
It is really about keeping things at the right height.
The same for our situations. In the throes of a project we get bogged down with detailed minutiae and lose sight of the bigger picture. Our initial reasons and motivation become callously obscured by slides and rows and columns.?
A few balloons arrive to the scene and asudden our perspective changes. We zoom out and observe the work from above, seeing not only our why, but all the pieces of the machine that will lead us there.?
The same for how we feel. Caught in negativity and where-do-we-go-from-here. A little lightness can help break through the bad. Not necessarily solving, but trying to make things a little better.?
Bring a balloon to your next problem. It may help.
