As kids, we tend to look at the world with a sense of wonder. But as we age, the rose-colored glasses come off because we get too busy dealing with life’s harsh reality. According to experts though, it’s important for adults to refresh their energy and “cultivate experiences of awe.” After all, the feeling of astonishment can bring physical and emotional benefits.
