When was the last time you were blindsided by a sense of wonder? That feeling doesn’t carry on much into adulthood, but research shows that if you can give yourself that feeling, there is a trove of health benefits to be had. Feeling a sense of awe catalyzes collaboration, and makes our sense of time slow down—if you can’t live longer you might as well make your brain think you are. Finally, recent research discovered that feeling a sense of awe could promote good health, aside from the other emotions you feel as a side effect. Awe might not come to you now as easily as it did when you were a child, but try and seek out awe inspiring moments, you might not live longer but you’ll feel like you did.
Sense of awe is good for you
