You could feel like indulging yourself today. You may find yourself tempted by material goods which may leave you with the urge to acquire things impulsively. Perhaps these feelings are due to your desire to escape the ordinary and add beauty to your life. If so, you could consider redirecting your energy by seeking beauty in your natural surroundings. You might want to spend some time exploring a mountain stream or running barefoot across a grassy lawn. Take a few deep breaths and drink in the wonders of the natural world as it energizes you and fills you with the joy of simplicity. You might realize that spending time outdoors is the best way to pamper yourself and that your indulgent impulses can soon be quenched through the extravagance of nature.

Setting aside time to be in nature is a wonderful way to satisfy our temptations. We often overlook the beauty in the natural world around us and instead search for beautiful things through more material pursuits. Nature provides us, however, with the ultimate means of pleasure. By feeling the breeze against our cheeks, the sun on our faces, and the ground under our feet, we give our bodies and minds the most nourishing and healing treatment we can imagine. Nature's decadence soaks in through the center of our being, and we realize that at the core of our search is the desire to find beauty by keeping life simple. Indulge yourself today by being in nature, and your appetite for beautiful things will be completely satisfied.
