"The Ohhh Effect"

Definition: The feeling you have when you see, hear, taste, smell, touch, read or think of something beautiful, amazing, or surprising that causes you to gasp "Ohhh" in joy and awe at how amazing and wonderful it is to be alive.

"Seek beauty wherever you can. Each day find something that makes you gasp in joy and awe at how amazing it is to be alive; a sunrise, a child laughing, a bird singing, a loved one smiling, the tide rushing out...

Enthusiasm is born of delight, wonder, passion, curiosity, and connection - connection to yourself, to other people, and to the mystery and the majesty of life. This feeds my spirit. If I haven't had an 'Ohhh Effect' in a while, I'll even go so far as to find something ordinary such as a pen and say out loud with energy and exaggeration, 'This is the most amazing pen I've ever seen. I love that it allows me to write my thoughts down. Can you imagine the first person to discover writing on papyrus and how she must have felt to see her thoughts on paper?! Imagine all the labor it took to get this pen in my hand..."

You can do this wherever you are with most things, people, and situations. Try it when you're angry with someone you love, remembering all the positive things you've appreciated about him or her. It has tremendous power to shift energy."
