Do you ever feel like life has become mundane? Work is easy, hobbies are mundane and your adventures are no longer that exciting? These are all reflections of a life lacking wonder. Not only in the things around us, but the joy and hope for the future and all of life’s uncertainties. Fortunately, it’s easy to rediscover your wonder for life and the world around you! All it takes is a willingness and a few simple steps.

The first step on the journey of rediscovering your wonder for life and the world around you is to understand what it means to have wonder. Wonder is an emotion of surprise, awe, and appreciation of all the mysteries and beauty of life. It is a feeling of joy and excitement about the unknown that lies ahead. To rediscover your wonder, you must let go of the need to have all the answers. Open your mind and heart to the beauty and mystery of all that surrounds you and appreciate it for the blessing it is.

The second step on this journey is to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. Gratitude allows us to appreciate the small blessings that life provides us each and every day. It is a powerful tool that can help us to release our fears and anxieties and as a result, rediscover our curiosity and wonder for life. Gratefulness for the big and the small moments can act as a gateway to a more satisfied and fulfilled life.

Next, spend time in nature as often as you can. Nature has an incredible amount of beauty, power, and mystery that can help to stimulate the senses and reignite a sense of wonder within us. Sit or walk outside and take in the beauty of the trees, the sky, the sounds, and the energy. Allow yourself to be in awe of the beauty around you and let that energy fill your heart.

Fourth, take a break from your routine. As humans, we thrive on routine and predictability and while these can be helpful at times, they can also lead us to miss out on experiencing the wonders of life. If your life has become too “normal” and “predictable”, break out of your routine by doing something new and adventurous. Go explore a new city, try a new hobby, or even take a hike in a scenic location. By taking a break from the mundane, you can revive your sense of wonder and curiosity.

Finally, spend time with wonderous people. Spend time with family, friends, and mentors who share the same appreciation for life and who are passionate and curious about exploring all its possibilities. Their energy will be infectious and their stories can open your eyes to the potential that exists in the world.

Rediscovering your wonder for life and the world around you can be a life changing experience. It can bring about a feeling of awe and appreciation for the present moment, and an excitement and curiosity for the future. By letting go of the need to have all the answers, being grateful for the present, taking time in nature, breaking up your routine, and spending time with wonderous people, you will be able to experience the magic of life.
