Allen.

Allen shows audiences worldwide how to use humor and positivity to deal with life’s not-so-funny stuff. He is a recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Applied Therapeutic Humor as well as a Toastmaster’s Communication and Leadership Award.

Here is a bit more about Allen’s background. He is a TEDx presenter on the power of intention and the author of over 30 books including The Healing Power of Humor and Embracing Life After Loss. His most recent book, The Awe Factor, shows readers how a little bit of wonder can make a big difference in their life. How did being a scenic designer for the Captain Kangaroo show influence him? What influenced him to become a writer?

The Awe Factor.

In his book, Allen shares the benefits of increased awe, including:

Connection to others
Lowered stress levels
Enhanced positive emotions
Increased compassion
Greater creativity

To Get More Awe In Your life:

Set your intention on finding one thing that awes you. Do this at least once a week. Be curious. Grow down, children find amazement all around them. Start seeing your world through a beginner’s mind and you will find those things too. Look closer. Stop, slow down, and open your eyes. Put down the cell phone, get away from your computer and look at something that intrigues you. Then look closer. See what you’ve never seen before.

As you will hear, sometimes it could be a silly prop that will lift your sense of humor. Hence, a red ball on a nose!

Allen’s Takeaways.

Awe is all around us, you don’t have to go anywhere special to find it or reap its powerful benefits. Consider taking a 15-minute awe-walk once a week it’s all you need to be happier and healthier. Science continues to find the many advantages of getting more of this powerful emotion in your life. So, make this year, “Your Year of Awe.”
