👏👏👏👏

"Wow!!! Science is both smart AND beautiful. Now, I'm going to go back and watch that a few more times..." Enjoy the latest #TheAweProject video (starts with 1 min of breathing) youtube.com/watch?v=z2fV5p…

“I never thought I’d say this but I wish it would snow! The beauty and complexity is astounding. I needed this, this morning.” All that from a 2 min video #TheAweProject Curious? 5daysofawe.com

It’s #BellLetsTalk day. As we focus today on mental health, we invite you to read this article from our archives published last year by @Jefftphd: doi.org/10.35502/jcswb…

“I am reminded that awe is a matter of opening ourselves up to everyday experiences rather than searching or labeling a moment of awe as having to be life changing, although it can sometimes be.” Via a #TheAweProject participant this week.

I gave a veteran police officer on patrol a chance to reflect on resilience in the ordinary. They talked about a buttercup. Really. New research via @JournalCSWB ⬇️ #NarrativeMedicine #NarrativePsychology linkedin.com/posts/jeff-tho…

12 tons of water flying at you and a seeing a midnight sun... with a little bit of whiskey. Curious? Listen to @cosmobiologist's short awe story. youtu.be/URb7fUzye_I #TheAweProject #NarrativeMedicine #NarrativePsychology

Let’s spread some good vibes (like the boy in the video) for #2024! [as usual, it starts with 1 min of controlled breathing]. #TheAweProject youtu.be/FiKwdWd1X1w?si…

The narratives we tell shape how we view and live in the world. @Jefftphd of @columbiapsych explores awe narratives with police personnel across the world to examine how these stories can support resilience and overall well-being: doi.org/10.35502/jcswb… #LEPH2023

The @5DaysOfAwe @JeffTPhD Resilience Symposium

"It's a very brief and absurdly simple way to declutter your mind and find beauty and appreciation all around you." I'll take that 😜, it's from a recent #TheAweProject participant after finishing the program.

@katiehc Impressive!

4:15 alarm for 5:30 am yoga and mindfulness this morning at the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy. I’ve been so proud to work with Class 231. I’m excited for their upcoming graduation. I’m particularly excited to have several of my colleagues in the class back at the MCSO!

“I felt a sense of wonder and curiosity about what else is out there. I’ve always been fascinated by space images.” Shared just now via @rcmpgrcpolice #TheAweProject participant. Join us for the next group starting soon: 5daysofawe.com

“I felt very grateful and small as I watched the video. The vastness and beauty of nature along with the soundtrack made me hopeful for the coming day.” #Hope #Optimism #TheAWEproject

“Absorbing the video, what came to mind was the beauty that is present and reflected all around us that we don't see daily. It reminded me to slow down, pause, breath in and enjoy all we have - even when/if we don't see it.” Amazing reflection from a #TheAweProject participant.

“The video showed me how simple and timeless mindfulness can be with intentionality.” - via an #TheAweProject participant this morning. See for yourself (first is 1 min of breathing, then rolls into the video) ⬇️ youtu.be/V3K1hRnhOJI?si…

“What I’ve enjoyed most is becoming more aware of what “awe” is to me and having the 10 minutes morning and night to just step away from all else.” Shared just now during the 9th group of #TheAweProject.

@JeffTPhD @ColumbiaMSPH @ColumbiaMed @ColumbiaPsych @ColumbiaMedRes @lipscomb @LipscombCLPS @LipscombICM I did the 5 days of Awe - it reminded me of the importance of noticing moments. Since then, I continue to notice moments…like this one on my way to work last week. Sat, took some pics and then the sun rose and the sky was different yet again. Something very peaceful about it all

@trentfaris 👏👏

Night time moment of awe. @5DaysOfAwe
