Receiving a healthy variety of sensory stimulation is important, no matter what age. I know that I always feel more energized after listening to good music, flying over the desert on a clear day, riding my bicycle, hiking through a wilderness area, swimming, travelling to a new place, feeling the warm sun on my back or a cold wind in my face. These things all have a high sensory content. Our senses deliver complex, dynamic information that challenges us to interpret it. And our minds respond to the challenge with growth.
Stimulation builds our sensory vocabulary and adds to our range of experience.
Make it a point to stimulate your senses every day. And not with the same old stuff. And you will most certainly grow from the experience.
