Flow states, gratitude, savoring, mindfulness and meditation, spending time in nature, spiritual practices like prayer and pondering, intimate moments with family or friends, and aesthetic or artistic appreciation all foster states of transcendence where we can rise above the usual worries about the self and feel a part of something more. It turns out that the best life is when me becomes us.
Reaching One’s Potential Through Awe
Awe is an amazing emotion. It has the power to help someone reach their authentic self through self-transcendence. This experience of wonder can empower someone to have more motivation, feel connected with the world, have better psychological well-being, and so much more. Understanding one’s place in this large world can be crucial, and awe is a way to find the meaning of one’s life.
