Food-feasts are particularly gratifying to the senses of taste and smell. However, the Joy Diet encourages you to indulge in feasts for the other senses as well. We usually apply the term "beautiful" to things that appeal either to our eyes or our ears. Seeking these kinds of delights is what I call a beauty-feast.
It's amazing how long we may go without feasting on things we find beautiful. We may own dozens of CDs and a great sound system, but virtually never listen to our favorite music. We hate the mustard color of the bathroom, but never get around to painting it our favorite shade of periwinkle. I often force clients to revisit and reclaim the things they find most beautiful. When they seek out beauty for their daily feast requirement, the world abruptly becomes more vivid, often breath-snatchingly lovely.
A visual beauty-feast can be even more enthralling if you add auditory pleasures, such as music, the thunder of waves or crickets' song.
