Recapturing Beauty: Day 7

Day 7 Challenge: Tune out the media.

"Tune out media--no TV, movies, magazines or internet surfing. Instead tune in to nature. Notice a sunset, gaze at the stars, sit by a stream and listen to the water."

Journal prompt: What did you tune into when you tuned out the media?

I did this on Tuesday of this week. Okay, so I didn't quite do this...instead of watching Hulu as I got ready for the day, I watched funny animal clips. I have a habit of watching TV every morning while I eat breakfast and get ready for work...I just don't have time to watch it any other time of the day. But I didn't watch any of my shows, which frequently showcase unrealistic images of people.

I did not find myself noticing the sunset, gazing at the stars, or sitting by a stream listening to the water. I did listen to music while I worked, go to lunch for a coworker's birthday, and go to rehearsal.

Honestly, I was exhausted on Tuesday. My main focus was to simply make it through the day. I didn't have time to focus on anything else...like sunsets and streams...I might have noticed the stars and made a wish...that's fairly typical of me. But that's about it.
