Beauty.
Seeking out beauty, in an ugly world.
“There’s always a sunrise and always a sunset and it’s up to you to choose to be there for it. Put yourself in the way of beauty.”―Cheryl Strayed
When the world feels heavy
When everything is uncertain in life
When you feel unmotivated
When you feel unworthy
Put yourself in the way of beauty
When you feel powerless
When you feel stuck
When you feel like a failure
Put yourself in the way of beauty
Seek it out
In the cracks of the concrete
In the midst of deserts and storms


Open your senses to the beauty right in front of you
Beauty keeps us humble. It reminds us of our place here on this Earth. The miracle that it is to be alive and the wonder that surround us.
Beauty isn’t superficial, and it’s not just about appearance. It’s an expression of love and creation. Science confirms what we’ve always felt… that beauty in nature doesn’t just lift our spirits, it directly soothes the nervous system.
How so?
🌼 By inviting calm… Natural scenes awaken the parasympathetic system, reminding our body to rest, restore, digest.
🌼 Easing stress… Just twenty minutes in nature lowers cortisol, the stress hormone, bringing the body back into balance.
🌼 Soothing the body… Studies show time in nature improves the physiological markers of stress including lower blood pressure, feelings of anxiety and improved heart rate variability.
🌼 Restoring focus… Natural movements like drifting clouds, swaying leaves, or flowing water gently captivates our attention, sending more demanding thoughts to the background and giving our minds the opportunity to rest.
When you put yourself in the way of nature’s beauty, your body responds in kind.
Seeking out beauty isn’t indulgence, but a way of caring for yourself.
And a reminder that even in uncertainty, even in the shadows, even when it feels ugly, the world is abundant with wonder.
So trust the little blooms, the sunsets, and the forgotten wild corners to guide you home.
Stay curious and kind,
Simone
