Bounce Back From Losing Your Sense of Wonder

Today on Your Bounce Back Life we’re talking about recovering and resetting your sense of wonder.

Wonder isn’t just for children. And I’m going to talk today about what wonder is, how we can revisit our wonder in the past, and how we can create wonder now as a daily habit in our lives—no matter our age. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

·         How to find wonder in routine activities of everyday life.
·         The importance of using all the senses to discover wonder, including imagination.
·         That wonder is not only around us but also within us.
·         How you can find wonder in all settings: nature, suburban, and urban.
·         To create a habit of being curious about the mysteries of life all around us in the setting of our environment from a stone wall to a skyscraper. 
·         How in wondering we can find a story behind every mystery—big and small—and how stories not only shape our world but shape us.
·         How you can look to the past as a gateway to revive your childlike sense of wonder.
·         Twelve ways to seek wonder now as an adult.
