I was unemployed for a good stretch last summer/fall and would go hiking, backpacking or camping in the Sierra Nevadas almost every week.

After the third trip in a month, walking among granite cliffs and alpine lakes I realized that I wasn't feeling much awe. To have those profound breathtaking moments in nature you need the contrast of months in civilization sitting on a computer. Same thing with special moments with loved ones, or anything that seems profound and makes you think "I should be doing this all the time".
