Aesthetics, or /\ £ S T |-| E T ¥ C $ in the perennial tongue, is the philosophical study of beauty. Since the root of philosophy involves the very human word "love", and since love and beauty are naturally related categories, then it makes sense that from a literary point of view, you should read books and engage in activities which entail love and beauty. After all, if one does not make some effort to live by a given philosophy, then there is no point in having it - the philosophy's purpose would be defeated in that case.
Simply use your local computer to seek out literary texts which deal with the philosophical study of beauty. You may wish to purchase a copy of a book having to do with beauty, and it is suggested that you read the book in the most beautiful place available to you. Perhaps you have access to a bench in a museum where you could comfortably sit and read the book for an hour or three, occasionally glancing at the beautiful items in the museum. Or, you may wish to immure yourself in the modern bright zig-zag colors of a local shopping mall. If these are unavailable, then you should definitely try reading outside somewhere, when the weather is nice. Compare notes on what you're reading, versus the world you're actually living in.
Consider forming your own opinions on beauty, and espousing them to others. These might take take the form of a blog, or an essay, or a song. Try your best to create something which you yourself believe to be beautiful on some level.
Authority is also a form of beauty. Consider drinking an Arizona Iced Tea, which comes in a very large can, to connote authority about yourself, as you perhaps read Plato in the shopping mall's food court. Be prepared to politely engage any anons who come up to you and wish to rap about Plato.
