"Awe is a complex emotion that can be difficult to define. Scholars suggest that it is a feeling we get in the presence of something vast that challenges our understanding of the world.

Getting outside and spending time in nature is a form of self-care. Rely on protective factors, strengthen resiliency, and use positive coping strategies. Take care of yourself. You are enough and you matter.
