3 Ways To Experience Wonder In Everyday Life
Updated 2024.10.25
Wonder is the feeling of awe and inspiration with the world around us. Some describe it as a child-like delight and admiration with the natural state of the world.
It is a positive feeling that can permeate through the body when you experience it. The benefit of wonder is that it gives you an opportunity to slow down, pause and experience the momentary magic that is happening every minute around you right now.
The good news about wonder, and any feeling for that matter, is that you can call it in on purpose using specific thought techniques.
Experiencing more wonder can increase your level of daily happiness and joy that your everyday experiences bring you. Wonder can take a normal drive to the grocery store and turn it into a transcendental event.
Below are three ways to attune your mind to perceive and seek more wonder:
1 - Marvel at modern technology
How amazing are cell phones? We can communicate through transmitted waves in the air with anyone in an instant. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla would be thrilled! What about music? Radio, and now YouTube, gives you access to material that lets you enjoy a symphony while you run errands, if you wish - unheard of even 100 years ago for most folks.
Think about all the amenities you have now that weren’t available in ancient times.
2 - “ I will find awe in the things around me today”
Start the day with this affirmation, and then intend to see beauty and awe around you. You will see it, perhaps in some things previously taken for granted or not noticed.
You can also use it moment to moment, “I will find awe in the things around me in this next moment.”
3 - Think of one thing you wanted intensely and it worked out
You knew it would happen, you knew it was only a matter of time and then, it occurred.
Remember the sense of amazement and happiness that washed over you when it came to be. Imagine that feeling coming into your body.
Breathe in and out, hold it there. Carry this feeling in your body today.
