Beauty can inspire us, make us happy, and make us feel good. But at what point does our focus on beauty become an impairment rather than something that inspires awe?
This week, Sarah and Erika discuss the word beauty. In this inspiring episode, Erika shares the concept of awe, and by shifting our focus on what we find beautiful and where we find it, we can lift any negative thoughts and reconnect with our values. They also discuss the importance of beauty and not letting it become an obsession that makes us lose sight of our values. .
What is 'Beauty'?
Beauty is a combination of qualities in humans or things, such as shape, color, or form, that gives pleasure to the senses, especially the sight.
