As the pandemic wave continued, more and more articles (both popular and scientific) were expounding that our lives need to experience awe; it helps us improve our well-being. Experiencing awe (something extraordinary) renders our worries much smaller.
Becoming less attuned to ourselves and paying more attention to the world around us, helps us “reframe” our existence. It allows us to become more curious, more creative, maybe even more compassionate. (That last attribute is something that most of us have lost during the pandemic era.)
