#175: The Sensory Exercise

On today's podcast episode, Dr. Cheryl Hardy is taking us through some initial reflections for our upcoming focus on the Sensory Exercise. While we often navigate our daily lives using our five senses without a second thought, these senses fundamentally define how we engage with the world and one another. As we prepare to explore this topic, she invites you to consider the following sensory perspectives: Regarding vision and hearing, do you truly see and hear those around you? In terms of touch and scent, she encourages you to reflect on how you feel about your interactions and whether you notice the subtle aromas in your environment. Finally, consider the textures of your experience—did you truly notice the taste of what you consumed today? She is looking forward to diving deeper into these reflections with you soon.

In today's podcast episode, Dr. Cheryl Hardy is talking to us about mental health. We already know the necessary steps, so today is about putting your tools into practice: healthy eating, regular exercise, and clarity of thought. She encourages you to release the pressure of being a "perfect Christian," as comparison only serves to hurt your heart, mind, and spirit. As she mentioned before, she is at peace with the fact that her editors do not remove every imperfection. My ultimate goal is to ensure that the heart of God's love flows through each episode. Be mentally healthy today by staying consistent with what you know works. Follow peace, care for your mind and body, and keep your soul nurtured through your relationship with God.

#173: Complaining: A Human Behavior

On today's podcast episode, Dr. Cheryl Hardy is talking about the human behavior of complaining. Are you complaining today despite being in good health and strength? Are you complaining about the weather while you have shelter from the storm? The brain naturally prioritizes safety and survival, which can often cause us to overlook the grace and mercy of God. When complaining is confined to a therapy session, it allows for the development of a strategy. When you complain to your doctor, it is time to work toward a prescription, prayer, and the miracle moments necessary for healing. Put a pause on complaining and put a praise on it.
