Wonder is the feeling of awe and inspiration with the world around us. Some describe it as child-like pleasure and admiration for the natural state of the world.
It is a positive feeling that can permeate the body when you experience it. The benefit of the exclamation is that it gives you a chance to slow down, pause and experience the momentary magic that is happening every minute around you right now.

Remember the amazement and happiness you felt when the time came. Imagine this feeling coming into your body.
Inhale and exhale, keep it there. Carry that feeling in your body today.
