28.GIVE YOURSELF GOOSEBUMPS (SEEK DAILY AWE)

Awe is not an emotion that we think of often, but it’s an important one. “Awe is the feeling of being in the presence of something vast or beyond human scale, that transcends our current understanding of things,” says psychologist Dacher Keltner.

When we experience awe, we feel like a small part of something bigger. It’s dramatic, uplifting, and inspiring. It stimulates wonder and curiosity, the same way that little kids who endlessly ask “why?” marvel at the world around them. Keltner goes on to write in a fascinating piece for the New York Times, “Awe is the ultimate ‘collective’ emotion, for it motivates people to do things that enhance the greater good. Through many activities that give us goosebumps—collective rituals, celebration music and dance, religious gatherings and worship—awe might help shift our focus from our narrow self interests to the interests of the group to which we belong.”

THE RULES

Every day, seek out ways to experience wonder and beauty in the world. Find what gives you goosebumps.
