10 Ways to Avoid Beauty Today

10 Ways to Avoid Beauty Today

On Tuesday I made a list of 10 ways to find beauty, so it seemed only fitting that I should make a list of 10 ways to avoid it too. 

1. Look Down – this way, you will miss a lot of good stuff and you will also probably bump into people and things

2. Avoid eye contact

3. Breathe shallow, or not at all, which is rarely advisable

4. Slam the junk drawer and pretend it doesn’t exist

5. Curse every time you open the junk drawer

6. Scowl

7. Complain about all the stuff that irritates you, like the driver who cut you off or who doesn’t know how to merge yet

8. Sit on the couch and complain about all the commercials on t.v.

9. Wait for someone to tell you that you’re great

10. Judge everyone and believe you know best how they should all be living their lives

I don't know anyone who doesn't do any or all of these things on a regular basis, including me of course.  I guess the trick is to try to be aware that we are looking down or scowling or judging and then do something else. Caught up in a difficult day or a negative perspective, it can be really difficult to do/see something else.  But nobody said uncovering beauty was easy.

wishing you a beautiful day,
