Sometimes the smallest moments of wonder can have the biggest impact on our mental health.
A new study found that people living with long COVID who practiced brief "awe" exercises—like pausing to notice beauty, kindness, or vastness—experienced less depression and stress, and greater well-being after just four weeks.
For me, awe often comes from looking up at the night sky and marveling at how big the universe is.

There is a waterfall and swimming hole right over the border into North Carolina called the Midnight Hole. Even in 90 degree heat, the water is still cold and crystal clear. I try to visit it at least once a year. There is just something about that space. It's beautiful and awe inspiring.
