How to Restore the Sense of Awe?

Question

I'm not depressed. But I lack the sense of awe that I used to have as a kid when discovering new things. With the accumulation of knowledge, new things are not surprising anymore. How do I restore it?

Travel to foreign destinations where you can&rsquo;t read the street signs, and learn how to get about on your own. Try to build something entirely from what you know, without a tutorial. Do more manual labor so you can get a chance to turn off your brain.

Meditate to appreciate the wonder that each moment is unique. It's just your mind that's become bored (that's what minds do). Your awareness is still fresh.
