I recently came across that, maybe it's related :
"The capacity to marvel is a privileged starting point of thought in general and of philosophy in particular. Indeed, it assumes that we get rid of ready-made ideas and prejudices, that we tear ourselves away from the immense force of inertia of opinion until we are deeply astonished by what seemed insignificant and without much interest until then. The wonder is born then, which opens the way to thought." -Normand Baillargeon (in "petit cours d'autodéfense intellectuelle")

Tearing ourselves from opinion and bringing wonder about new things look like a good starting point.
Now about how to reach that point...

In my case it's mostly when talking with people and friends thus making me do things i wouldn't have otherwise for one reason or another.
The whole multiverse of internet just fills the void.

Sorry if this isn't helpful.
