Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I carry stress in my body constantly
- I feel small and stuck inside my own head, looping on my own problems, and I want something vast enough
- I’m so trapped in my own head, looping on the same small worries, that even when I’m outside I barely see anything
- For a little while right after something takes my breath away, the stuff I’d been stressing about genuinely feels smaller and farther off
- I think I’d need a grand vacation or some once-a-year spectacle to feel genuinely moved, so I just don’t
Practices that may help
- Awe and Well-Being, Made Practical
Awe — the emotion triggered by encountering something vast that challenges your current mental frameworks — reliably reduces self-focused thinking, lowers inflammatory markers in some studies, increases prosocial behavior, and expands the perceived sense of time available. Dacher Keltner’s research shows awe is more accessible than people think and can be deliberately cultivated without waiting for once-in-a-decade peak experiences. - Understand awe’s physical dimension
Regularly experienced awe is associated with lower inflammatory markers — which is worth understanding even if the mechanism is not fully settled.
Awe and the Small Self - Seek out awe as a broadening and self-transcending emotion
Awe expands perceived time, reduces self-focused thought, and increases prosocial behavior — and it can be deliberately accessed.
Broaden-and-Build, Made Practical - Design awe walks that amplify the psychological return of outdoor movement
Walking with intentional attention to vast, novel, or beautiful elements generates awe — which compounds the mood benefits of movement.
Nature and Movement, Made Practical - Write from a small-self perspective after awe
After an awe experience, write briefly from the perspective of someone whose personal concerns feel appropriately small.
Awe and Well-Being, Made Practical - Seek out awe
Regularly expose yourself to vast, complexity-expanding experiences — nature, art, music, ideas — that trigger awe.
Building Positive Emotions, Made Practical - Invest in what research shows moves the set point
Prioritize relationships, autonomy, and meaning — the three factors most reliably linked to lasting wellbeing gains.
The Hedonic Treadmill, Made Practical - Use awe to reconnect with something larger than yourself
When awe makes the self feel small, follow the natural impulse toward belonging — toward community, nature, or humanity at large.
Awe and Well-Being, Made Practical - Cultivate micro-moments of connection (positivity resonance)
Brief genuine moments of shared positive emotion with any other person — not just close relationships — build the social resources that sustain wellbeing.
Broaden-and-Build, Made Practical - Attend to moral beauty as an everyday awe source
Notice and dwell on acts of extraordinary virtue, skill, or dedication — a common awe trigger that most people overlook.
