Awe Walks: The Simple Positive Psychology Practice You Need To Try

Awe walks are one of the most underrated positive psychology practices available to us — and chances are you've never heard of them. If you've been feeling stuck in your head, disconnected or just a little flat lately, this episode of Midlife Unfiltered is exactly what you need. In this Hacks, Habits and Happiness episode, Margit and Brett explore one of the most quietly powerful conversations the show has had — and it starts with a morning walk, a lemon-scented eucalyptus tree and a deliberate decision to leave the headphones at home. Margit introduces the awe walk, a positive psychology practice that most of us have never heard named — even though many of us have accidentally stumbled into it without knowing what to call it. There is something that shifts when you give this practice a name and choose it deliberately. The conversation moves through presence, mental load, self-compassion and what it actually feels like to notice the world around you again. It is honest, warm and surprisingly moving for an episode that also features a galah doing…well quite frankly – pooping!This episode is for anyone who has been a little too stuck in their own thoughts lately.In this episode we explore:What an awe walk is and why positive psychology backs itHow one deliberate morning walk can reset your entire mental stateWhy intention is the difference between a walk and a practiceThe surprising ways presence changes how you connect with the world around youHow to experience an awe walk anywhere, no special destination required01:09 – What Margit noticed on her awe walk02:17 – Does an awe walk have to be intentional to count?06:51 – How to do an awe walk anywhere, including the middle of a city07:26 – Sensing the bigness of life09:24 – Brett's photography parallel and why it lands perfectlyMargit Cruice is a midlife and leadership coach who believes this chapter of life can be one of the most expansive and liberating we’ll ever live.
