On Ridiculously Enjoy Life we want you to truly enjoy your life! For real! We talk about topics of striving for goals, happiness, success, and also soaking in the beautiful world around us. It’s easy to get lost in la la land from the day-to-day grind, so let’s try to get into the habit of admiring our surroundings.
More and more as time goes on I’m realizing how important it is for me to really take in this amazing world. As a photographer, I enjoy finding new things with vibrance and life. When I travel to other places I become like a little kid in wonder. If you look you will find some amazing things. Landscapes, building structures, machines, animals, and all sorts of creatures.
I like to challenge myself daily to find cool things around me as a reminder of the beauty of life. During the day on my walks, I do my very best to scope things out. Sometimes I am on a call and I force myself to look even harder around me because over time many of us can just lose sight of the goodness that’s surrounding us.
5 Super Cool Ways Of Discovering The Beauty Around Us
- Start appreciating nature in your own way. Find the cool things that speak to you. You may not care for flowers, trees, and animals and that’s ok. It’s a bit odd, but I am not judgy. Smile! You may even be in a city scene with very little of all that so then you can shift the perspective. Go for structures, colors, and designs. So cool!
- Actually, stop and smell the flowers, like for real. Use that sniffer and also use the saying! It’s very cool what you can discover. Some flowers can even take you back in time. Try it!
- Act as if you were a child full of wonder. As adults, many of us have seemed to have lost that natural curiosity. Who cares what people think, get on the ground, get your camera out and take a pic of that super cool caterpillar.
- Do your very best to minimize the daily grind thinking. Just pause for a while to soak in the goodness. If your mind can be on the present it becomes much easier to absorb and appreciate.
- Develop the habit of finding beauty. You can even make a list of cool things to find. Make it a game and have fun with it! Also, something pretty cool is you can even try to manifest what you would like to see. I like dragonflies so many times I will say out loud, “I would like to see a cool dragonfly!” Seriously, I do it all the time. Yes, my neighbors think I am Koo-Koo, but that’s ok, I am way happier than they are.
Bonus: Sometimes this is when your life’s purpose comes to you naturally!
Conclusion
Finding the beauty around us is truly very refreshing for our souls. Keep an open mind and bring in as much positivity as you can. Over time this process can really become a therapeutic adventure, you just have to decide that it will be.
