🔮 What Is the Wonder Mindset?

The Wonder Mindset is an approach to living and working rooted in:

  • 💚 Curiosity – Ask. Play. Zoom out.

  • ❤️ Tinkering – Try. Flip. Fail forward.

  • 💙 Reframing – Spot the magic in the mess.

It’s not a method. It’s a way of being. A way of making meaning. A remix of design, neuropsychology, and human possibility.


✨ The Wonder Manifesto

  1. I am wired for curiosity.

  2. I celebrate small awe.

  3. I am not broken—I am brilliantly becoming.

  4. Mistakes are data in disguise.

  5. Wonder is not optional—it’s oxygen.

  6. My neurodiversity is my superpower.

  7. I check in before I check out.

  8. Magic is real—if I choose to see it.

  9. I honor friction as fuel for growth.

  10. I am capable of wonder.


💡 Your Daily Wonder Work

Each day, choose one from each section:

💚 Curiosity Dares

  • Ask a 5-year-old question about something serious.

  • Wander with no destination and notice 3 things you've never seen before.

  • Zoom in on something boring and rename it as art.

❤️ Tinker Challenges

  • Do one thing you've never done, even if it’s tiny.

  • Send a message with no edits.

  • Make a micro-decision that scares you just a little.

💙 Reframe Rituals

  • “What if this flaw was my fuel?”

  • “If this were a gift in disguise, what would the gift be?”

  • “What would my inner child say about this?”


🧠 Wonder Tools

The Wonder Check-In

Ask yourself (or your team/family):

  • Where am I emotionally? (Hot 🔥 – Warm ☀️ – Cool ❄️ – Cold 🧊)

  • What am I curious about right now?

  • What wants to be expressed or released?

The R.E.A.C.T Framework

For when you're triggered or stuck:

  • Reflect – What is this reaction telling me?

  • Engage – Can I stay open to this discomfort?

  • Analyze – What's the belief under the resistance?

  • Connect – How does this relate to my story?

  • Transform – What small action can I take to grow through this?
