20 Oct Autumn: How About A Beauty Hunt Today?

Autumn: Time for a Positive New Habit 

A beauty hunt: I try to do one every week. It not only refuels me, it continually resets the template of my mind toward positivity. Without resetting this template, most of our minds are progressively pulled downward, noticing and dwelling on what’s negative.

So how do you do a beauty hunt? It  won’t take any extra time out of your day. It simply means, whatever you’re doing, that day you’re going to proactively notice, and savor for a few seconds, things that are winsome, noteworthy, whimsical, and beautiful around you.

You’re driving to work? Notice the flowers along the highway, the bright blue sky, the tapping melody of rain falling on the windshield.

You’re in your home? Let your eyes linger and drink in a favorite photo or piece of art, your children’s faces, the way your pet’s fur feels under your fingers.

You’re walking somewhere: Notice the particular details of nature, the way a tree is formed, the bright pattern on a ladybug’s back, autumn decorations in neighborhood yards.

So try this today. Then let it become a habitual pattern in your daily thinking by practicing it on specific days. Wear a rubber band around your wrist or a special piece of jewelry that reminds you to notice beauty on that day… Otherwise it’s easy to get to the end of the day and realize you’ve forgotten to practice this necessary life skill. We usually bustle through our day, never feeding our souls with the beauty around us.
