How understanding your Sensory Profile can help you find calm in all the chaos!
I saw this picture posted on Spring Day (01 September) and it was like I could “feel” all the emotions and sensory input this squirrel was feeling and receiving. I could feel the warm sun on me, I could smell the flower, I could hear the sounds of nature around me. I took a deep breath and felt so relaxed and calm just by looking at this picture and by activating and using my senses I found myself in a calm and happy state.
Why senses are important to humans
We understand and interpret our world through our senses. Both children and adults are unique and different, and each has its own sensory processing style that is part of our genetic brain wiring. Stimuli get filtered and regulated on a primitive level in the brain which is the central piece of processing stimuli.
We first sense, then feel, then act. However, with our busy, stressful, and sensory-overloaded world we become disconnected and disengaged. By understanding our thresholds we can regulate ourselves to find calm in the chaos.
What are Sensory Thresholds?
Sensory Thresholds are part of your genetic make-up and are a deciding factor in how fast and/or intense we experience stimuli from the environment. This then results in our behaviours, habits, and responses.
Which image do you prefer (or avoid): Does one of the images increases your stress levels and makes you feel overwhelmed? Does one of the images excite you?
How the Sensory Matrix™ can help you!
The Sensory Matrix™ assessment tool measures your thresholds across all your sensory systems. This gives you a reflection of your default comfort zone – where, when, and how you operate best and reduce stress. We can all move outside of these comfort zones, but it is less desirable and not sustainable.
The Sensory Matrix™ provides insights and strategies to help you interact best with your daily environment. Your productivity, health wellness, stress management and personal relationships depend on it.
If you’re struggling with feeling overwhelmed, life is just too much, not sure how to get through each day, this tool will give you easy, simple, effective, and practical basic strategies to make life easier and help find the calm in the chaos.
