The Idea of the Week
We receive a lot of sensory input all day. We may tune out most sensory input, or we may feel overwhelmed, tired, and foggy from sensory overload (when we receive more input than we are able to process). However, if we switch off our autopilot and learn to be present in the sensory experiences we can:
- manage stress levels,
- promote wellbeing,
- manage brain fog,
- improve self-awareness,
- promote learning and memory,
- boost energy levels, and
- ground ourselves to the present.
In this 5-minute read, we’ll explore different ways to mindfully engage with our 5 senses.
