Who is not suitable for aesthetics?

Human beings have an natural appreciation for beauty and aesthetics. It's evident in the way we surround ourselves with art, music, and other forms of creative expression.

Research suggests that the predisposition towards aesthetics may be influenced by genetic factors. Studies have found that people with a particular variation in the DRD4 gene, which is associated with increased dopamine activity in the brain, are more likely to exhibit creative traits and have a heightened sensitivity to aesthetic experiences.
It’s not just about genetics. Environmental factors such as exposure to art and culture, upbringing, and education can also play a significant role in shaping one's aesthetic preferences.

Beauty is how something, someone , somewhere makes you feel; the positive emotions such as joy, empowerment, gratitude, inspiration, thanks, strength to name a few.
That is why, finding a practitioner who is wired for aesthetics is the first step, and secondly, ensure that you are on the same page, have a similar idea of beauty; that you are wired the same way.
So what can I do? You ask. Ask yourself, how does the clinic, the brand, the clinic and the practitioner make me feel.
Do I feel safe?
Do I feel listened to?
Do I feel heard?
Do I like and am I aligned with their vision of beauty?
How does it make me feel when I think of the brand, or clinic?
If it gives you good vibes you’re on the right path. If it gives you uncomfortable vibes, of needing to be like someone else, or making you feel inadequate and that you are not enough, it may be time to look elsewhere.
Now that you are aware of this concept, you are equipped with more knowledge to help you get from where you are at to where you want to be.
If you are not wired for aesthetics, you are not naturally creative, it’s okay. Put your analytical hat on, make sure you have a goal in mind, your outcomes, and ensure that you are comfortable with where you are , and where you are going.
