Practice paying attention and notice the little things. Practice using all of your senses. Using our eyes is a great start, however, we must practice using the rest of our senses. Touch the flower petals of the flower you are admiring – really feel it. Cook up a batch of garlic and onions just for the smell of it! Check out different restaurants and taste some ethnic cuisine. Take your socks off and walk on the grass and in the sand. Climb a tree. Do a cartwheel. How many times do you look up into the sky? See the clouds? Take the subway everywhere, bike everywhere, notice those little cafes, the quaint sidewalks, a chunk of grass, the museums, the spas, the 100 year old trees. Become attuned to the beauty that is always available to you should you choose to see it.
Do it especially if you don't want to do it or find yourself coming up with excuses - that just means that you think too much and don't enjoy having fun.
