Living through three different continents and traveling all around the world, I have learned that beauty exists everywhere. Sometimes we easily let the flow of every-day life take us far away from observing what happens around us, but as we can relax and appreciate every movement, we often notice the undeniable beauty of our surroundings. It does not take too much effort to bring a fresh perspective to your life in order to feel happier and more positive. Let me share with you my soul-detox routine.
1. Find silence
I often wake up very early in the morning just to enjoy the quiet atmosphere. It is indeed one of the best ways to start the day with some peace in mind. You are not a morning person? No problem. There is always a chance to find yourself in silence, either in your own room, a quiet coffee shop, or during the night before going to bed. This is the moment of the day when you can actually let all the noises and troubles behind, not to reflect, but to relax. Enjoy the silence and focus on nothing else but deep breathing. Give yourself 3 minutes of this easy step, then you will notice how calm and productive you can be afterwards.
2. Drink lots of water
As simple as it sounds, keep yourself hydrate. Not only will water refresh your body, but it will also help your kidney and improve your skin. No matter if it is in the middle of intense working hours or an extremely interesting movie, give yourself a short break by standing up and getting some water. The feeling of freshness cannot be denied.
3. Observe
Reserve a few moments of the day to see the movements around you. Most of the time, we are caught up in several responsibilities and forget to pay attention to the smallest things in life. Just for a few seconds, slow down and you can see the happy smile of a little girl out of the window. You can also see the worries and concerns of people around, all of which fulfill the picture of life. Observing is a way to find beauty in the smallest corners of this world. So why not?
4. Keep the negative spirit away
Or in other words, surround yourself with positive and happy people. Spend time on fun activities or your own hobbies. We all have unhappy moments, but letting those moments ruin your perception of life is a dangerous thing to do. I believe there is a clear distinction between surviving and living. So if we decide to live, live happily and positively.
5. Reflect on feelings
Of course, everyone has feelings. It is a gift from nature. But reflecting on what we feel can be a brand new, and sometimes difficult, thing to do to many people. The idea is simple: understand what your current feelings are and try to find the reason behind. You might feel excited but nervous at the same time because there is a job interview in the afternoon. You can feel very happy because you helped a friend move into his new apartment. Or perhaps you are upset because your date comes late. However your feelings are, understanding why is a big step to figuring out what you want and what to do next. That way, you can make better decisions and also come to understand why people do what they did. Understanding is a part of life that gives meaning to the unspoken. With basic understanding of human feelings, we often find more beauty in people which we sometimes neglect.
