This leaves a lot of room for personal choice as blushing cherry blossom pink is just as natural as cool and calming seafoam. Likewise stormy grey is as natural as pine forest green. Our mind-set will change too: Wabi-sabi puts the focus on gratitude for what we already have rather than always yearning from something new and shiny. This powerful shift in perspective will help us to feel more peaceful and content in the current moment, and by doing so, allow us to embrace serenity and tranquility in our day-to-day lives—something we could all use a little more of right about now.
