"In the scientific literature, awe has been identified as a very distinct positive emotion that can enhance mental and physical health by influencing thought patterns, social behavior, and physiology. [. . .] Research demonstrates that repeated exposure to awe positively affects our stress response, inflammation, hormonal activity, and brain function. Appreciating awe on a consistent basis can also help ease symptoms of depression" (Psychology Today).
Join us these week for a lighter episode all about seizing opportunities to find awe in our lives, and the benefits that come along with it!
