December 3, 2012 a project of ServiceSpace The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper. - W.B. Yeats - Short On TIme? Try Something Awe-Inspiring "Always plugged in and constantly juggling tasks at work and at home, many of us feel like there aren't enough hours in the day to do all the things we need to do. But wouldn't it be awesome to feel like you had more time? In fact, a new study suggests that experiencing awe -- which psychologists define as the feeling we get when we come across something so strikingly vast in number, scope, or complexity that it alters the way we understand the world -- could help us do just that. What's more, awe might make us more generous with how we spend our time and improve our overall well-being." { read more } Be The Change Invoke awe in your day.
