The practice of Wonder, championed by Seneca, means treating everyday interactions with curiosity instead of judgment.

It helps you make clear decisions even when your day is busy. (2/4)

To try it notice the first flicker of conflict and name the feeling of doubt without adding a story.
Take three slow breaths.
Picture the workplace as a garden in midsummer each person a sprouting seed.
Ask yourself what unknown need might be driving the other person.
Write a short answer in one sentence.
Respond with a question that invites clarification such as Can you tell me more about what is concerning you.
After the conversation reflect on how your anxiety changed. (3/4)
