Noticing Beauty

"I think it's important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy." -Paula Cole

We often withhold our happiness for life's unforgettable moments. This week I saw the remarkable in the everyday. I noticed beauty everywhere. All I had to do was open my eyes. Here are a few ways to capture the beauty around you:-)

• Observe - look closely and take everything in; use your senses to truly see. Noticing your surroundings creates more awareness and appreciation of what you have and what's around you.
• Say affirmations - taking the time to recite positive statements sets an intention to make each day a heartening experience. Here are two affirmations I like most: 
  • "I constantly have new insights and new ways of looking at the world."
  • "I see abundance radiating all around me. I now live in limitless love, light and joy." 
• Express gratitude - acknowledging the simple pleasures of the day stimulates our well-being. Giving thanks not only makes us happier but also shows us a life filled with abundance.
• Stay inquisitive - noticing the extraordinary in the everyday asks us to pay attention and never assume.
• Revel in the moment - slow down and fully experience the simple moments of your day that make you smile. Celebrate these moments and notice how they bring joy to your life.

When do you notice beauty in the ordinary?
