✨ 2026 Power Word: AWE & WONDER ✨
Lately, when awe arrives for me, it doesn’t come in fireworks.
It lands quietly—right in that space between the upper heart and the lower throat.
A soft catch of breath.
A moment of astonished stillness.
Not from anything big.
Not from anything loud.
But from the small, everyday moments we usually rush past.
And I keep noticing how rare those moments have become.
We are so stressed.
Day after day after day.
Living in constant survival mode—pushing, striving, doing, proving.
We were never taught how to just be.
From a young age, stillness wasn’t encouraged.
Silence felt uncomfortable.
Being alone with ourselves felt wrong.
So we learned to stay busy…
and now we fill every quiet moment with doom scrolling—
not because we want to, but because at least it feels like something.
Yet in all that noise, we’ve lost the space where awe and wonder live.
There’s no room for mindfulness.
No room for creativity.
No room for passion or purpose to gently rise.
Awe doesn’t demand effort.
Wonder doesn’t need force.
They arrive when we pause long enough to notice the sacred in the ordinary—
a breath, a glance, a feeling, a moment of presence where spirit can finally meet us.
Today, I’m not asking you to do more.
I’m inviting you to soften.
To slow.
To let yourself rest inside a single quiet moment.
Because awe and wonder aren’t lost.
They’re just waiting for us to stop long enough to feel them again.
Today, I encourage you to find 30 seconds.
Close your eyes.
Place a hand over your heart space.
Tap in.
Allow whatever comes up to come up—
without fixing, judging, or rushing it away.
Just be still.
Just be present.
Right here, in your body.
