February 10, 2026 Changyu Zou

I think everyone could use a dose of “wonder” right now so this could not come at a better time! “Feeling drained? Here’s how to rediscover your childlike wonder” with The Los Angeles Times and #lcmartist Changyu Zou. Don’t take any of these things for granted:

1. Look for awe in the mundane

2. But don’t forget to appreciate wonder in unsurprising places

3. Allow yourself to be more playful

4. Fill your life with people who expand your universe

5. Slow down to appreciate things you take for granted

6. Create new daily rituals, like ‘awe walks’
