The "Help, Thanks, Wow" ritual offers a simple yet powerful way to reconnect with ourselves and loved ones while improving our wellbeing through acknowledging struggles, expressing gratitude, and finding wonder in everyday life.

• Inspired by Anne Lamott's book combining humor and spirituality
• "Help" acknowledges difficulties and allows us to practice self-compassion by recognizing when we need support
• Asking for help gives permission to explore solutions beyond our own capabilities
• "Thanks" focuses on gratitude for what we have without ignoring problems
• Gratitude helps reduce overwhelming feelings created by our problems
• "Wow" invites us to experience awe and wonder in daily life
• Stanford research shows awe brings us to the present moment and makes life more satisfying
• Looking for "wow moments" can be like a daily treasure hunt
• Even on difficult days, sunrises and sunsets offer reliable opportunities for wonder

Take a moment today to practice "Help, Thanks, Wow" and share your experience with loved ones.
