Where do I see the beauty of the world around me? How to see beauty in the ordinary? See life as a game.
The opportunity to see the beautiful and amazing around them is given only to children. Growing up, people gradually lose this gift. Many of us have divided the world into good and bad, useful and harmful.
Things, events, phenomena that mean nothing to some, or even irritate them, for others can become a real inspiration, a subject of admiration.
The ability to see beauty in the alien
The talent for noticing little things helps you make new discoveries. The most attentive people are considered to be people in creative professions - artists, photographers, writers, performers, sculptors. For them, the world is open in a varied palette of colors and has more facets of beauty. People of art tend to find positive things more often than others in the most ordinary or even not very pleasant for others.
One such example is the attitude of actor Tom Cruise towards his daughter Suri. He, like a loving father, decided to capture in gold what other parents throw away with a wrinkled nose (can you guess what?). And for him it became a real work of art. I didn’t want to insert this picture. 🙂
This is, of course, an unusual case, and it is not the only one of its kind.
As you can see, different things can be beautiful. The main thing is to have the ability to see.
Be able to see the beauty in the gray and boring
The ability to see something more than what is close to a person’s gaze is not given to everyone. Alas, many, as they say, do not see beyond the tip of their nose.
“Here it is, a gray and terrible aluminum fence, cross-shaped... no imagination!” - grumbles a fellow traveler on the bus.
Indeed, gray color evokes boredom. What should the barriers be like for the hundred-kilometer roads of a huge city? Build chased or cast iron fences, like during Tsarist Russia? Would these fences be a real decoration? After all, behind their beauty, no one would have seen the dandelions blooming in the clearing. And also, along the entire length of the road, on such a nondescript and gray fence, there are real city beauties - petunias.
Why do some see gray, while others see its shades and what lies beyond it?
See and understand the beauty in simple things
This is the most wonderful way to cheer yourself up. There is no need to expect that someone will take care of you, entertain you, and console you in moments of grief. We can handle it ourselves if we want.
How to do this if everything around you is wrong? We won’t list the reasons why you might be upset. There really are too many of them, but that’s not what we’re talking about today.
One of the options for raising your mood is. But your loved one can’t guess this? Or does his path home not pass by a flower stall?
Create your own mood! There is absolutely no point in going out and buying a bouquet for yourself. This can become a reason for jealousy. Although, weeds (that’s how my bouquet was dubbed) can also become a reason for jealousy.
Go outside to the nearest park, where you haven’t had time to mow the lawn yet, and pick yourself some flowers. Simple blades of grass, daisies, blooming clover, thistles. Everything you come across. Why not a bouquet?
To live well for those who are just steps away from wildlife. But a city dweller needs to go somewhere. How much effort does it take to pick forget-me-nots and bells for the girl you love? Such a bouquet, perhaps, in terms of spiritual value will be more expensive than a purchased one.
And how many positive emotions - fresh air, birdsong and a complete feeling of freedom!
When a person begins to see the beauty in simple things, he becomes happier.
If we could clearly see the miracle of one flower, our whole life would change... Buddha
This bouquet turned out to be not just cute and funny, but also useful. The cat Musya appreciated it and enjoyed it with pleasure.
In the middle of summer it is much easier to become the owner of a bouquet. But for the winter season, a bouquet is a real gift. Is it worth waiting for such a miracle? Create it yourself - plant a real one at home and enjoy your garden every day.
How can we see the world as beautiful and unusual if we walk with our heads down?
As if they had lost something... Yes, many have really lost their sense of reality, good mood, optimism, desire to be kind, sympathetic...
And then there’s rain, dampness, and puddles. If we walk looking down at our feet, then let's admire the world in the reflections of puddles. Look 
at the world through the eyes of children, photographers and artists, or lovers.
There are many examples when you can see the unusual in simple things.
Whether to notice a miracle or not depends on own desire– focus on the bad, or try to see and appreciate the little things, without which the world would be incomplete.
The desire to see beauty does not mean at all that it is necessary to turn a blind eye to things, actions and events that require intervention and correction.
People who tend to feel more deeply are distinguished from others by their special responsibility for maintaining peace and harmony in it. I would like to hope that the majority are like this.
How to regain the ability to see the world as beautiful and amazing?
- Flexibility of mind can be developed, which sharpen all senses
- Can . They can help you get away from the hustle and bustle
- Walk (travel) and observe more.
- Read classics, listen to beautiful music.
- Get creative: or take photographs.
- Get involved in charity.
Sometimes, the discovery of love for an unusual environment (objects and even people) occurs very slowly.
The beauty that a person discovers for himself makes the deepest impressions.
Unfortunately, many people begin to appreciate simple things and little things only when they find themselves in extreme situations, dramatically changing their living conditions.
Don't be afraid to be strange, move away from imposed beauty templates, learn to see the beautiful in the ordinary, the unusual in the simple. And be sure to be happy! Life is good, isn't it?
It was a cold and sunny day, I was spending time with my children. We played with the rabbit on the lawn next to the house. Everything was wonderful, but suddenly I realized that in 30 years I will no longer remember the details of today. I won't be able to remember in great detail our trip to Disneyland, or the gifts we gave each other for Christmas.
How can this be changed? Become more aware?
We experience life events as if in fast forward. If we could slow down, everything would play in a new light. This is why the idea of slow life, when life flows at a measured pace, is so popular now, especially for residents of megacities who constantly do not have time to do anything.
But we have thousands of reasons for excuses. A career that makes you feel important, a wardrobe that makes you look presentable. We are bogged down in everyday affairs, in the daily routine, or, on the contrary, we do not pay attention to anything in pursuit of an ideal life.
What can we do right now?
1. Pay attention to every moment
You don't have to spend every vacation in an exotic country. Even ordinary things give you a taste for life - for example, playing with children on the front lawn. Instead of looking to the future, try lingering in the present.
2. Learn to see beauty in simple things
Beauty is the key to realizing what is most important. The main guide to a different view of the world. A flowering tree in the garden, a stylishly decorated hotel room or an incredible sunset reveals a different side of everyday life, you will gain satisfaction simply from living on the planet.
3. See life as a game
Adult life presses us with a new level of responsibility. But don't forget that we were once children. Maintain a sense of humor in any, even the most difficult, life situation.
4. Be grateful for every moment that happens to us
Be grateful for what life gives. You can use the following technique: at the end of each day, remember the past day. What can you praise yourself for? What made you happy? Don't forget about such pleasant things - a mother's smile, the rosy cheeks of a son who came home after playing football, a husband who came home from work. Be attentive to the little things, don't get hung up on your problems.
5. Protect yourself from burnout
I remember that period clearly. I was worried about everyone, but not myself. I worked at home, kept house while my husband worked in the office, staying late. Where can you find time for yourself? And it must be there, otherwise you will dissolve in others and completely forget about your “I”.
6. Be ready for change at any time
Nothing is permanent in life. Each event brings its own changes. But it's worth it. There is nothing more changeable than life itself, and we must be ready for change. The main thing that will help you find yourself is to live with an open soul and eyes wide open.
7. Change the usual life scenario
The scenario we live by is exclusively in our heads. We ourselves shape reality. If you are dissatisfied with yourself and do not want to live the way you live, this is a reason to reconsider your outlook on life and develop a new scenario, different from the one you live now. You build a new reality and move forward.
Try to pay as little attention to distractions as possible and listen to your mind and heart. More awareness, and life will appear before you from a new angle, and everything around you will sparkle with new colors.
See the beauty in the simple
Leafing through famous volumes
We learned to speak beautifully
In the words of Pushkin, Makarenko, Dumas,
But this is not only our strength.
Leafing through famous volumes
We teach you to live with your dreams and hearts.
We know they need our help
Guys with curious eyes.
We often say that in our difficult times there is no place for admiration, admiration, beauty, goodness. That all people are evil and selfish. But you don’t choose times, you live and die in them. There have never been simple times; each generation has its own difficulties, its own trials.
We, teachers, teach to see external beauty... in music, in paintings, in nature, even in the simplest, most ordinary... in a blade of grass, in a dry twig, in a shard of glass. We teach you to create beauty yourself... through drawings, crafts, photographs, and good deeds. And we smoothly move on to seeing the inner beauty in a person.
I drew up an educational plan for 4 years at once (very convenient, I recommend it). During its implementation it is adjusted taking into account individual characteristics cool team. The development of each direction is worked out from simple to complex, from small to eternal.
But let's return to inner beauty. We often hear “Beauty will save the world.” Who remembers where these words come from? (novel “The Idiot” by F.M. Dostoevsky). What kind of beauty are we talking about? (about spiritual beauty, about the beauty of the soul). Beauty is the sum of the moral qualities of a “positively beautiful person”; the best thing in people is beauty. What you feed in your soul grows and develops.
Beauty can be seen in contrast. One person can talk a lot beautiful words, and the other will remain silent, but do a beautiful deed. Compare the beautiful and the ugly (snow and dirt, wonderful music and a disgusting creaking door). A person can create both beautiful and ugly around himself. One person tries to say good and kind words, while the other likes to be rude, swear and tease. One is trying to draw beautiful drawing, and the other deliberately stains the paper with scribbles. One happily sculpts a snow woman and tries to make it fun and beautiful, while the other deliberately destroys it.
Beauty of the soul (fairy tale)
It was boring for the Flower to stand all day long on one leg in the middle of the flowerbed. He grew up and bloomed his petals much earlier than other flowers, and therefore he had absolutely no one to communicate with. And then, one day, an unfamiliar, very beautiful Butterfly sat on him. She probably flew from afar, because the Flower had never seen such beautiful wings before. While the Butterfly, folding its wings, was resting, the Flower complained to her about his loneliness and talked about how boring and sad his life was. The Butterfly took pity on the lonely Flower. She decided not to fly further, but to settle nearby. She wanted to fly to Flower more often and tell him about the places she had already visited. Now the Butterfly flew to the Flower many times a day with news, and he, with his petals wide open, joyfully greeted his beautiful guest. But one day, when the Butterfly was not around, a boy approached the Flower and wanted to pick it. The flower shrank, trembled with fear and asked not to pick it, but instead offered the boy to catch his beautiful girlfriend. The boy agreed and went home to get a net. When he returned, he hid and began to wait for the Butterfly. Soon she appeared in the sky. The butterfly was in a hurry and flew past, but the Flower opened its petals wide and exclaimed: “Butterfly, fly quickly to me, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” I need to tell you something. As soon as the Butterfly flew up to the Flower, she immediately found herself in the net. She wanted to break out of captivity, but nothing worked for her. Suddenly the edge of the net rose, and the Butterfly saw a hand reaching out to her. Someone's fingers tried to grab her. The butterfly thrashed about, beat its wings, and suddenly it managed to break free. Flying high, she looked back and saw that the flower had broken from the impact of the net. He lay motionless among the grass. The boy left, and the Butterfly sat for a long time next to her broken and silent friend, and crying bitterly, said: “It’s my fault, it’s because of me that they broke you, forgive me, Flower.”
[?] – Which of the fairy tale heroes was truly beautiful in soul and heart?
– What did the Flower do towards the Butterfly? (Ugly and ugly)
- Or maybe someone thinks that the Flower acted beautifully, because he was saving his life? (The answer is “yes”: if he acted nicely, it means you would want to be friends with him if you were a Butterfly).
– Did you like the boy or not? Why?
– What is more important, the beauty of the soul or the external beauty?
I really like Nikolai Zabolotsky’s poem “The Ugly Girl”... here are the last lines:
...what is beauty,
And why do people deify her?
Vessel she, in whom there is emptiness,
Or fire , shimmering in the vessel?
Human imagination is truly inexhaustible, but no matter how hard we try to excite our imagination and create a work of art, Mother Nature is one step ahead.
By the hands of nature
Everything she does is a masterpiece! Using natural tools - shadow, light, wind, gravity, color and the eternal laws of physics - nature creates in any style, from realism to abstraction. Stop for a moment, look around - there is so much magnificence next to us that it is impossible to believe.
Beauty is all around us
Frosty patterns that will cease to exist as soon as the sun comes out.
All shades of orange and red are reflected in the old broken mirror - the most abstract sunset imaginable!
Is this the work of Monet? Oh no! It's just dirt splashed all over the window during the trip. Pure impressionism...
Volcanic explosion or oil stains on the lid?
Sometimes randomly mixed paint looks more artful than any painting created with it. The main thing is not to touch!
Learn to see: beauty is in the little things, for example, at the bottom of a coffee cup!
What happens if you look into the neck of a shampoo bottle? Real fractal painting!
The frost created an optical illusion of gorgeous white birds flying from a tree right in front of the house.
The waters of the Chinese lake are filled with algae that look like they came out of a painting by the impressionist Pissarro.
The Mysterious Galaxy, created with splatters of purple paint, is one of the most stunning random “artworks” you can come across.
This gorgeous pixelated sheet could easily be an aerial photo of a fall farm. Just look at these colors!
Ice creates amazing patterns, but these patterns look like someone sketched out a topographical map!
The simple art of light, shadow and form.
It's impossible to tell what it is: a strangely lit waterfall or a real watercolor - an amazing illusion!
Driving in wet snow gives birth to unexpected masterpieces.
When you realize that you live surrounded by a watercolor landscape...
The fantasy of Wind, Frost and the Rising Sun creates an alien illusion.
Symmetrical tire tracks in the shape of a heart - how is this even possible?
Easter stained glass windows - and your cat turns into a multi-colored spotted work of spring art.
The old paint peeled off the rusty container in the most amazing way. It's hard to create this effect by hand!
