Not only do emotions of wonder feel pretty good, but they also carry big benefits. Here's a closer look at the wondrous emotions that enrich our lives
Encountering the new, the interesting, the unexpected, and the “wow!” is built into our brains. Not only do surprise, interest, amusement, and awe—emotions of wonder—feel pretty good, but they also carry big benefits. Although all positive emotions motivate us to broaden our horizons, these are particularly potent in inspiring us to explore, learn, and connect to others and the bigger world.
Surprise can be transformative, leading us to change our beliefs and behaviors. Some psychologists say that surprise can also amplify whatever anticipated emotion you feel along with it. You may feel happy on your birthday with the thought of dinner with your friends, but your happiness will be augmented when you’re surprised by a huge party . Experts distinguish surprise from emotions like awe in part by the fact that the “surprise” is often easily explained.
Among interest’s benefits is that it leads to learning . Students who are curious participate more, enjoy learning more, and score higher academically; the same is true for adults in the workplace. Funnily, laughter is not all about humor. Research finds we laugh 30 times more often with others than when we’re solo, and not just because we’re swapping jokes. Scientists theorize that laughter is a signal that communicates agreement, affiliation, and affection, all to reinforce social bonding.
The phrase laughter is the best medicine may be founded in science: It can lead to improved cardiovascular and immune health.Please be respectful of copyright.
