“April showers bring May flowers” is the singsong rhyme we teach children at a young age. As embattled New Yorkers, we feel we’ve overpaid our precipitation dues this past winter, and are fully deserving of consistently warm, sunny days where daffodils poke through the ground, Mister Softee trucks dot the street corners (surely an indication warmer weather has arrived, if ever there was one), and young women break out their floral print cotton dresses to pair with colorful open-toed sandals. Life and situations give us back information depending on the lens with which we examine them, and no matter what Mother Nature or anyone or anything dishes out, we can, using the philosophy of Victor Hugo, realize, “To love beauty is to see light.”
Beauty is all around us, in all things, shapes, sizes and forms – it shows up every day, and all we have to do is choose to see it. Who are the beautiful friends and family members who enrich your life? Did you appreciate those quiet five full minutes early this morning, as you held your coffee mug to your mouth from the comfort of your couch, before your day galloped ahead? Did you see the way that child watched the musicians on the subway platform play their hearts out? Did you double up in laughter all over again, recalling a joke a work colleague told yesterday? Or did you put on your favorite spring shirt or dress from last season, only to rediscover how much you love it and rock it?
At DASHA®, our motto is “enhance your well-being.” We believe appreciating and seeing the beauty in your own life will help you to drive, shape and reach your wellness goals. Join us throughout the month, as we use spring as a springboard to rediscover the importance and presence of beauty in our lives.
