We live in a world obsessed with productivity, busyness and “always-on” schedules.
Reclaiming your birthright to wonder maybe the part of the solution we seek and is easier than you think. The holidays offer a good time to do it.
Wonder can help you reclaim more meaning, more joy, and more creativity.
If you want more wonder, here are some ways to do it, compliments to the tracking wonder – the man of wonder himself Jeffrey Davis.
Jeffrey and I are brewing up some wonder-full things I can’t wait to share with you soon.
#1 – Stand in Wonder –
You don’t need permission to lead your life and work with more wonder. You already know that your life and work are connected to a calling greater than the sum of your to-do’s. So honor that fact, and for the next 7 mornings check-in and ask yourself, “What am I devoted to?” Write down your response. Throughout the day, when you feel off-centered or more in a downer state, remind yourself of that devotion, and stand in wonder.
#2 – Gift Wonder –
You have a rare ability to help someone else experience more wonder, too. Over the next 7 days, choose someone to surprise with delight, ignite their curiosity, or show your admiration or appreciation for.
- Mail someone a surprise gift that shows that you see who they are.
- Call up the lucky person and just ask them to share some good news with you – and ask them lots of genuine questions.
- Mail someone a card expressing specifically why you appreciate or even admire them.
#3 – Spread Wonder –
Sharing bad news, complaints, and rants is unfortunately all-too-easy. Wonder-tracking David Byrne decided to shift the news by founding Reasons to Be Cheerful – a website full of news about people and organizations who are doing wonderful things in the world.
Your turn – how do you track wonder?
