RECLAIM YOUR WONDER: 👀 Why You Can't Just Be Here Now

<p>When&#39;s the last time something genuinely stopped you in your tracks, friend? Not the post-it-to-stories kind of moment — the real kind where you simply soak it all in? </p><p>This week in our RECLAIM YOUR SUMMER series we&#39;re reclaiming wonder, but not in the way you&#39;d think. Bc here&#39;s the question Brittany kept wrestling with: <strong>why is it so HARD for us to experience wonder in the first place?</strong> </p><p>Turns out we don&#39;t lose our sense of wonder because life stops being beautiful — we lose it because wonder requires surrender. And surrender feels scary, especially when your whole identity is wrapped up in doing, building, carrying, and proving.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>WHAT WE COVER IN TODAY&#39;S EPISODE:</strong><br>✻ Why we rush past the very lives we worked so hard to build — and the patio moment that cracked this whole thing open for Brittany </p><p>✻ The fascinating awe + wonder study where people drew themselves smaller after experiencing awe — and why that smallness is a gift, not a threat </p><p>✻ Becoming small in EGO without becoming small in WORTH </p><p>✻ Why distraction feels easier than wonder </p><p>✻ The question worth sitting with all summer: what if the goal was never to carry more — but to notice more?</p><p><br></p><p><strong>THE HEART OF THIS EPISODE:</strong><br>&quot;Wonder helps us get honest about how much of a load we&#39;re carrying — and whether it was ever meant to be ours to carry in the first place.&quot;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>RESOURCES + LINKS MENTIONED:</strong><br>🌿 <a href="www.inspirebeautybritt.com/reclaim" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">RECLAIM YOUR SUMMER Workbook + Companion Guide </a>| 55 pages | this week&#39;s section is all about wonder, noticing + paying attention<br>📖 The Unplugged Hours by Hannah Brencher + <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/243pMeur2uw9gzOITRZBTQ?si=0fc8a7e6708b4cac" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Hannah&#39;s episode on the podcast </a><br>🍑 Currently reading for fun this summer: <a href="https://amzn.to/3SHHRLv" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Demon Copperhead </a><br>🔬 The awe + wonder study referenced: &quot;Awe, the Small Self, and Prosocial Behavior&quot; (Piff et al., 2015) → <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25984788/">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25984788/</a><br>🎧 Subscribe to The Self Care Sisterhood Podcast | new episodes every Monday all summer long → Spotify, Apple Podcasts, + wherever you listen<br>⭐ Loved this one?
