Vastu Shastra suggests pictures of mountains, birds and sunrise to lift confidence at home

Sometimes even very small things can break a person's confidence and spirit, and the enthusiasm to start something new can fade. According to Vastu Shastra, certain pictures are recommended to keep the atmosphere at home positive. Pictures hung at home are said to affect both the surroundings and a person's state of mind.

Vastu Shastra advises putting up inspiring pictures to raise confidence and morale. The east, north or north-east side of the house is considered auspicious for such pictures. Here is a look at which pictures to put up.

The first is a picture of a tall mountain. According to Vastu Shastra, people who have low confidence or are under stress all the time should keep a picture of a tall mountain at home. Mountains hold their ground even in difficult conditions. Whether a storm or a cyclone comes, they stand firm. Likewise, looking at a picture of a mountain may inspire a person to face difficulties and keep trying steadily. Such a picture is considered useful for raising morale.

The second is a picture of a flying bird. Putting up a picture of a bird in flight at home is also considered auspicious. Just as a bird soars high into the sky with zest in search of new places, its picture can inspire a person to move forward. Such a picture can be put up to create a positive atmosphere and build confidence. It is considered especially useful for people whose interest in taking up new work is waning.

The third is a picture of a rising sun. Putting a picture of a rising sun on an east-facing wall is said to bring new opportunities, energy and positive thoughts.

Advice has also been given on a picture to avoid. According to Vastu, pictures of rough, surging sea waves should not be put up at home. Such pictures are believed to cause restlessness of mind and strain in relationships. So while choosing a picture for the home, one should pay attention to the scene and the mood it conveys.

If you want to keep a positive atmosphere at home, choose a picture of a tall mountain or a flying bird. According to Vastu Shastra, these pictures are considered useful for building confidence and raising spirits.
