I want you to come to the beach with me.
The beach is my favorite place, and we’re going to visualize it together at the beginning of this episode to get a little sensory rest.
I’m back with another episode in our series on rest, and we’re moving on to the second type of rest: sensory.
There was a time when life moved slower and we could enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of living. Now, life moves so fast it’s a blur of those sights, sounds, and smells everywhere we turn. Excessive exposure to nonstop sensory information leaves us exhausted and leads to us taking our senses for granted. We tune out our senses in our overly-busy days. If you can learn to rest from a sensory perspective, you’ll be able to enjoy your senses again instead of being overwhelmed by them.
In This Episode, You’ll Discover:
- Why our senses get overloaded
- Why sensory rest is so important
- The signs of a flooded body
- Things that cause your senses to become overloaded
- How to know if you’re deprived of sensory rest
- What scripture says about sensory rest
- Why you need to unplug
- How to identify what sounds, smells, tastes, or textures affect you
What are you going to do to incorporate sensory rest into your day? You could buy an eye mask, learn to meditate, reduce your screen time, or anything else you can come up with that would work for you.
If you didn’t catch the episode on the first type of rest, go back and listen to that one and get ready for the next episode where I’ll reveal the third type of rest.
