Benefits of ChatGPT

How many of you know that AI (artificial intelligence) is here and growing faster than leaps and bounds.  There is no denying it.   It is in every facet of your life.

Don’t Worry.....

 ***Purpose***

 

     1.  ChatGPT

ChatGPT can help you find the best price at a nearby store and compare your options.  This is also an option to ask if you only wanted to purchase an item online.  This information is free for the time being.

      2.  ChatGPT Images

You can create ChatGPT images by just entering the name of the image you want it to create and within a matter of seconds it is done. 

      3.   ChatGPT Meaning

Do you know what the GPT means?  It stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. This describes the AI’s ability to generate text using a pre-trained neural network model. 

      4.   Who or What Created ChatGPT?

ChatGPT was created by an artificial intelligence research laboratory consisting of OpenAI Inc, a non-profit, and Open AI Limited Partnership (Open AI LP), a for-profit subsidiary, according to howtogeek.com.  They further added that ChatGPT is an AI model that uses deep learning to generate human-like text based on prompts from users like you.  Again, I say even though it is artificial intelligence it is not human.  It is human like and, in many instances, may fool the human eye which is another story.

      5.   Who Is Suing ChatGPT?

Although there are benefits to ChatGPT there are cons as well.  According to msn.com the lawsuit claims that Phoenix Ikner, the alleged gunman who was a 20-year-old FSU (Florida State University) student at the time, used ChatGPT to input and assist to carry-out the shooting that killed two people and wounded six others.  They further went on to say that the information that was provided to the shooter had it been provided to a human possibly a human would have checked on him, it possibly may have been prevented.   Is it possible we are receiving too much information too fast without knowing or being able to be responsible for it; almost like giving a child information too soon before they can handle the information properly.  There are numerous other lawsuits against ChatGPT as well.   

     6.     ChatGPT free vs Paid

Which is better, free or paid ChatGPT?  It really depends on what your goals are. ChatGPT free is for users that use ChatGPT sparingly and have no need for advanced features, chat GPT Go is for light users who are happy with the free version, but occasionally run into usage limits, ChatGPT plus, is for daily users who need multimodal input and output with extended limits.   These are talked about at Nexos.ai.

      7.     ChatGPT mobile app

Do you have the ChatGPT mobile app?   Some of the benefits of the ChatGPT mobile app include, craft engaging and polished content, composing of emails and professional documents, access to quick and accurate answers, translating text across multiple languages, getting personalized recommendations, simplify learning and studying, generating fresh ideas and solutions, practice conversations and language skills, solve math and coding problems, and organizing tasks and managing time effectively.

       8.     ChatGPT More Cons

Although ChatGPT has several benefits it also has its cons such as hallucinations, inaccuracy of information, dependency, the erosion of critical thinking, data privacy, legal exposure, reinforcement of stereotypes, usage limits, inconsistent performance, manipulation, cybersecurity risks, impact of employment, water consumption, energy consumption, and copyright, legal uncertainty.  This is talked about at projectmanagers.net.

        9.     ChatGPT Water Consumption

Did you know that ChatGPT uses four times more water than previously thought?   According to thetimes.com there was an underestimation because of the AI expansion of AI products and services that has led to an increase in data center workloads and the associated water footprint required to cool them efficiently.   They further added the water UK (United Kingdom) has calculated that the new data centers built in Britain in the next five years could need the same amount of water as 500,000 people.  

        10.   ChatGPT Inaccuracies

Has ChatGPT inaccuracies gotten worse?   According to popsci.com new studies show that GPT appears to be getting less accurate over time.  They further added that when it came to computer code generation, the ability to generate computer code got worse between March and June. 

         11.  ChatGPT vs Google Gemini

Which is better ChatGPT or Google Gemini?   That is a good question.   You might be surprised at the answer.  As far as pricing Gemini is a better value compared to ChatGPT because ChatGPT does not offer anything similar to Google Gemini cloud storage or robust suite of integration in Google Workspace apps. Pcmag.com further added that ChatGPT can easily search for up-to-date information on the web, automatically include pictures in responses when relevant and adds article tiles at the bottom for further reading, whereas Gemini doesn’t.  So finally, pcmag.com concluded that Google Gemini was their overall pick even though both ChatGPT and Google Gemini are powerful.  Ultimately, I believe it will depend on what your needs are for a Chatbot.   Everyone’s needs are different.   Keep in mind new Chat boxes are evolving constantly.   One AI that I came across is Claude.

           12.  Claude AI

What is Claude? Claude AI was developed and owned by Anthropic, founded in 2021 by former Open AI researchers Dario and Daniella Amodei, with a clear mission for safe and responsible AI.  Dailydigitalgrin.com talks about this.   They further added that for the future of AI they are concerned about Ethics and Safety and accountability as opposed to mainly profits.  So ChatGPT and Google Gemini as well may have some competition to expect.

What Is New with AI( Artificial Intelligence)

  

Who Is a Mother?

Did you know that behind every strong family is a mother who never gave up. Through her sacrifices she makes you see her strength. A mother’s prayer can cover and protect her family.

Did You Know?

***Purpose***

 

1.     Prayer Warrior

Can a mother count the number of times she has prayed for her children? How many silent prayers has she had?  I recall praying for one of my daughter’s that was in labor in the hospital.  She was in a lot of pain and kept asking when they could give her something.   They kept saying, “You have not dilated enough yet.”  I recall praying silently to God. I recall my light-skin daughter turning almost black in color.   I continued to pray because this is something that I had never ever seen before in my life.   Finally the nurse came and gave her medication and her color started coming back to normal. 

I recall   another time during the summer one of my daughter’s who was a teacher at the time was working at the Olympics in Atlanta during the summer.  Now this was a time I prayed hard.   There was an announcement that there was a bombing during the Olympics.  Now I know my daughter was working for the Olympics. There were no cellphones during this time.  I called the hotline set up to check on your loved one.   I could not get through the hotline.   The hotline was busy all day.   I prayed all day. That evening my daughter called and said she was okay, but where the bombing took place was where she would have been working.   She had worked all week and was too tired to work that day, so she stayed home.   I knew then that was God answering my prayers and taking care of my daughter.    How many times have you prayed for your loved ones?

2.     Nurturer

A mother nurtures like no other. She encourages and protects. She trains a child the way that the child should go.   I recall one of my children telling me, “You want me to be an engineer, that is not what I want.”   I am so glad she told me that, because I did not want her to necessarily be an engineer, I thought that she wanted to be an engineer.  I explained that she should be what she wants to be and I was okay with that. Although, I was concerned that she wanted to be a criminal attorney at one time.   I asked,” Why a criminal attorney?”   Her response was, “Someone has to defend them.”  She later decided against that.   That was her own decision, mind you.  Children are born with many talents.   Mothers can see those talents and mothers know that their children are more than just one talent.   Some children are talented in numerous things.

3.     Spiritual

A mother might be spiritual. She realizes that she is more than just body, but rather a spiritual being living in a body.  My pastor often stresses that our struggle is with unseen forces and principalities.  I recall when in college to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree, I gave a talk regarding Spirituality. I remember talking about not being unequally yoked and trying to find someone that is a believer like yourself before marriage.   Afterwards my classmates could ask me any questions.  I prayed that I would know the answer. I am so thankful that I was taught by my present pastor about the importance of memorizing scripture. One of the questions I was asked was, “What if you are already married and your spouse does not necessarily believe in God or the church?”  I remember quoting the scripture to them, Matthew 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh.   Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.   Also, each student would write on a piece of paper how they viewed me and this was given to me.   I did not realize it at the time, but most of my classmates viewed me as a Spiritual person.

 4.     Sacrifices

Do you know how much your mother may have sacrificed for you?   I often listen to people on television when they are getting awards.   Many of them besides giving honor to God give honor to their mother and all her sacrifices.  There have been many single mothers that have sacrificed so much for their children.   I recall working 3 jobs at one time.  How I did it I do not know except by the grace of God.   I did what was necessary to care for my three children and my niece. So I really raised 4 children.   How much have you sacrificed as a mother?

5.     Grandmother, Aunt, Sibling

I recall numerous grandmothers, aunts, and sisters that took care of their children.   How many grandmothers today are taking care of their grandchildren even though they have already raised their children? I recall A sibling from a large family became the mother figure taking care of her siblings after her mother was murdered.    I recall my father and grandmother raising me.   During my teenage years after my grandmother died my Aunt raised me.  The saying, “It takes a village to raise a child,” is very true. 

6.      Adoption

How many mothers have given their children up for adoption because they felt that that would be the best thing for their child?   How many mothers have thought adoptive parents could give their children more than what they had to offer?   How many children grow up feeling that something has been missing in their life only to find out that they were adopted.   Even though their adoptive parents may have been loving and caring that child still longs to find the biological parent to complete their lives.   This does not mean that they love their adoptive parents any less, but that they have room to love their biological parent as well.  Love covers a multitude of things.  1 Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.  Are you looking for your adoptive mother?   Are you longing to find that part of your life to help make you complete?

      Is Seedless Fruit Better? 

Why do Some Want to Erase History?

Did You Know the Book of Enoch?

 

 

 

 

 

Messy Room, Clear Mind

Not everything has to be perfect to be meaningful.  Progress over perfection.  Why do you keep a messy room?  Do you want to change?

 

 

Is This You?

***Purpose***

1.     A Messy Room and Your Mental Health

Did you know that a messy room may be a sign of depression, sign of feeling overwhelmed, or a sign of your preferences?  Verywellmind.com talks about this.  They further added that possibly you have a type B personality which suggests that you are more relaxed and not focused on achieving perfection like a type A personality.

Are you a parent that has a child that keeps a messy room?   I recall I had a child that kept a messy room and when I told her to clean her room this is what happened.  It would appear clean, but when I opened her closet door everything fell out on me. 

2.     Emotional Attachment

People who developed anxious attachment styles in childhood, typically because a caregiver was inconsistent in meeting their needs, are more likely to seek emotional comfort from material objects.   Scienceinsights.org., further added that a room full of objects you can’t bear to part with maybe less about the objects themselves and more about what they represent emotionally: security, memory, connection to people or times that feel uncertain.

3.     Change

Are you a messy and want to change?  One of the best books that I have read was Messie No More by Sandra Felton.  A few take aways from this book that I loved was as follows:

    a. To keep my house clean, clean something daily in each room, preferably something different each day.  Instead of allowing clutter and things to pile up.

    b.  Life is not a sprint, but a marathon.

    c. A messy house is frequently the result of a messie’s effort to stay in control of their life.

    d. Reasons to get the house under control is so the house will look better for company, so the house will look nice for you, so the house will work better, so you will not have to work so hard, and to reduce the feeling of helplessness.

Also I remember reading in this book that messy’s tend to want to hold on to things and keep it in clear sight in the event they may need it, as opposed to filing it or putting it away in a specific space.  Is this you?  

4.    Clutter Affects Your Brain

Are you aware that clutter affects Your Brain?  Clutter can cause visual overload, attention splitting, stress response, and decision fatigue.   Myhealthopedia.com further adds that clutter reduces focus, fuels procrastination, affects sleep quality, encourages unhealthy habits, and affects memory.

5.     Depression

Could a messy room be a sign of depression?  According to verywellmind.com it could be a sign of depression because depressed people often feel too fatigued or hopeless to keep up with the routine of household tasks.  They just do not have the energy to straighten up the room.  They further added that a messy room may be a sign that person is feeling very overwhelmed with the clutter.

6.     Consignment Stores

I often took my children's and grandchildren's clothes to consignment shops. I discovered some of the shops were very cluttered and not well-organized.  I discovered I could not stand that clutter, because it just bothered me.   Eventually I stopped going to some of them.   There are also retail stores that have special deals where they bring items out already boxed.   Those that are always looking for a deal seemingly love it.   That particular type of clutter is not worth the deal to me.   I just cannot stand it.  So, I discovered clutter is not just in individual houses, it carries over into the stores. 

7.     Emotional Attachments

Do you have sentimental things that you are emotionally attached to?   Do you keep boxes of clothes saying that one day you might wear that?   Do you have a problem with letting go of materials things?   Do you look for sales to save things just because they are on sale?   According to nuvancehealth.org., talks about this.   Eventually, these treasures become cluttered.   An alternative to holding on to this stuff is possibly taking a picture and saving it.  You still have memories unless you get Alzheimer’s disease and that is a different story. 

I recall holding on to clothing.  I now recheck my closet yearly.   If I have not worn it within the year, I will send it to Carriage Town not the Salvation Army.   The Salvation Army resales the items.   Carriage Town gives the items to needy individuals. 

8.    Cluttered Email

How does your email look?   Is your email cluttered.   Do you clean it out daily? I discovered my email was very cluttered.   If your email is not maintained it can become cluttered.   Do you receive a lot of spam mail?  That can cause clutter as well.   Clutter comes in all forms.

9.   Slips and Falls

Did you know too much clutter can be the cause of slips and falls?  Living with clutter puts you at risk of tripping over the clutter.   Webmd.com talks about this. They further added that in one study done volunteers who filled out surveys in a neat room were more likely to say they wanted to donate to a charity compared with those who were questioned in a messy room.  

10. How to Stop Being Messy

Is your room messy, but you want to change?    It can be done. Start with baby steps, start small, set achievable goals, develop piles to keep, donate, or re-sell, and above all be realistic.

AI: Now and the Future

AI (Artificial Intelligence) has been here and is growing in leaps and bounds. You say you do not want to use AI, but did you know that AI is everywhere?

Did You Know?

***Intentional***

1. Internet Search

Have you done an internet search recently for anything? Have you observed that the first answer you see is usually from AI? Observe the picture below. I did a search for the benefits of good health. Now you try it. Try looking up other internet search.   AI searches usually will appear first and you will see that small blue star at the beginning to the left of the search.

 

2. AI is Always listening

Did you know that AI (Artificial Intelligence) is always listening? According to AI overview AI systems, like virtual assistants, are designed to be “always listening in a passive way to detect a wake work and become activated. This passive listening does not necessarily mean thy are always actively recording or processing every conversations according to AI overview.

3. My Personal Experience

I love my wireless earpiece. I love it for listening to music and my audible books. I usually listen to them during the morning as I prepare for my shower. Although I prefer listening to my gospel music,  AI seemingly will start an audio book that I am presently reading. It just automatically starts. Well I may not want to listen to it, but rather listen to my music. So I physically shut it off from my audio-book. Also, because my routine changes I may or may not want to listen to my audio-book this particular morning. It is kind of frustrating sometimes because I think to myself, “I know what I prefer to listen to or not listen to today.”   I also remind myself that AI is not human. 

4. Chatboxes

Have you ever called a retailer or a business only to hear about 5 recorded choices for you to pick and none of those choices fits your particular problem? Is it at that time you would like to really speak to a human?

Are there benefits to using chatboxes? Yes according to leaddesk.com chatboxes can be very effective for dealing with customers who come forward with simple requests and frequently asked questions, but customers with more complex problems might need to talk to a human. They further added an example of a Student Housing Foundation that has a chatbox available on the page 24/7 and independently handles over 59% of customer queries.

5. A Few Elon Musk Predictions

The Video below shows Elon Musk predicting that by 2030 artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence, in 10 years humanoids could make goods and services virtually free, you will be able to switch out cosmetic robotic parts, all cars will be self-driving, 90 percent of miles driven will be autonomous, and much more. In addition, it was revealed on this video the individual you are looking at Julia McCoy is not Julia McCoy, but her digital clone. Now that is something.

 

Age of Abundance

 

6. The Difference between AI and Reality

I have a difficult time at times differentiating between AI images and the real thing. Elearn.eb.com gives a few tips to help distinguish differences. They are as follows:

a. Look for unusual or inconsistent details

b. texture and pattern repetition

c. lighting and shadows

d. background anomalies

e. facial features

f. contextual errors

g. get and labels

h. digital artifacts or digital manipulation, and

I. emotional inconsistency

One thing that I noticed several videos seemingly makes it appear that a news reporter is advertising for a certain product, when in reality news reporters report the facts about the news as oppose to promoting a particular product. Those types of videos can be very misleading to unsuspecting individuals. Scammers have even gone as far as to use famous people’s name such as Steve Harvey, Dr. Oz, and many more to promote their products when in reality that is a lie.

6. Robot Chefs

Did you know that there are presently restaurants that are staffed with robot chefs?

Elearn.eb.com talks about this. There are 5 restaurants namely: California: CalifExpress by Flippy, Croatia: Bots and Posts Sci-Food bistro, Japan: E Vino Spaghetti, United States: Sweetgreen, and the First RoboChef Outlet in Dubai.

7. McDonald’s First Robotic Restaurant

Can you imagine going to a McDonald’s Robotic Restaurant? Well the first McDonald’s Robotic Restaurant is in process. They are selling Big Macs in a McDonald in Fort Worth, Texas according to the Utube Video below which was posted 2 years ago. There are no cashiers, no one to take your order, and no one to bring you your food. Everything is handled by a robot. It is not fully automated and humans are there to assist. You can receive your order on a conveyor belt. It has been said that the automation is similar to working in a factory. Supposedly this type of automation is to provide faster and better service. There are still those that do not agree with this. As some have expressed concern about others will be loosing their jobs because of a robot.

Inside McDonald’s Robotic Restaurant

 

8. Will Any jobs survive AI?

You might ask will there be any jobs that survive AI? According to economictimes.indiatimes.com Bill Gates predicts the 3 jobs that will survive AI are the coders of AI, the energy experts, and the Biologists. They further added that biologist require creativity, intuition, and critical thinking. That does sound good, but it brings to mind for me the scripture Proverbs 27:20. Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied. It makes you wonder will anything ever be enough? There are already predictions to move to Mars. There is the fear that we may destroy our own planet earth. So again, I ask, “Will it ever be enough?”

How Well Do You Listen?

 

The Hidden Pull of the Digital World

Did you know that it has been said that hacking can feel thrilling-solving complex problems, but that rush can become addictive if it turns into obsession or harmful behavior?

Did You Know?

***Purpose***

     1.  Teen Hackers and Addiction

According to bbc.com/news a study suggests there are parallels between the way youngsters turn into hackers and how youths become addicted to drugs and alcohol.  They further added that reports show the teens’ goal was not for financial gain, but rather to boost their reputation among other hackers to compensate for what might be a lack of self-esteem in the rest of their lives.

    2.   Young Hacker Speaks Out

This young hacker put at risk the security of 60 million children and 10 million teachers.  He admitted that he feels he needs to go to prison for what he did and that if they had not stopped him, he probably would still be hacking.   This is talked about at abcnews.com.   They further added that 15- and 16-year-olds are hacking; That there is a whole young generation who are like free-range chickens with no guidance.  When you think about it 15- and 16-year-olds are not adults but are starting crime at a very earl age and the internet makes it very possible for them to do so.  Crime has always existed, but internet crime is new and different. 

    3. Who Are Cyber Criminals?

You might ask, “Who are cyber criminals?”  Cyber criminals also known as hackers are extremely difficult to identify and the growth of this global network poses a major threat to governments and corporations. Online.norwich.edu further added that cyber criminals might include identity thieves, internet stalkers, phishing scammers, and cyber terrorists.

   4. Psychological Profile of Cyber Criminals

Cyber criminals have above-average intelligence, a lack of empathy, some are motivated by narcissism, the internet’s anonymity and distance makes it more appealing to participate in unlawful activity, the excitement of successfully breaking a system can fuel the drive for more, and they frequently exhibit impulsiveness and aggression. 

This reminds me of a movie I watched called “Queenpins.”.  The lady was queen of couponing but became obsessed with making it bigger and better.  This was based on a true story.   The woman had made couponing an illegal business by selling counterfeit coupons.  She had become a multimillionaire owning several vehicles and airplanes.   It was seemingly addictive for her and her accomplices that helped.

   5. Conti

Have you heard of Conti?  Conti is one of the 10 Most Notorious Cybercrime Groups in 2026.  Their operation included performance reviews, salary structures, internal chat logs, human resources disputes, and offering tech support to affiliates and documented their attack playbooks better than some IT teams.  Caniphish.com talks about this.  They also added that this gang became known for hitting governments, hospitals, and global businesses demanding tens of millions in crypto.  Note: One teen hacker mentioned on the news he would demand crypto and then convert it to cash and send it to his house.  His mother never knew.  She thought he was getting regular mail, and he was getting millions of dollars in the mail.  Now who would have thought of something like that?

   6. State of Michigan

How does your state rate in cybercrime?   The State of Michigan ranks 8th for cybercrimes with a reported 17^th for money lost per victim.  Michigan laws have adapted to address the evolving nature of cybercrime according to bing.com.

  7. The World Online

Do you know when the world went online?   It went online in the 1990’s according to cybersecutiryventures.com.   They further added that email became a blessing and a curse as it opened new entry points for viruses.   Now the next generation from 2010-2019 included Saudi hackers of credit cards online, malicious hackers into Yahoo, and the forcing of New Zealand’s stock market to temporarily shut down.

  8.  Yahoo Cyber Threat

Yahoo experienced one of the largest data breaches in internet history during 2013-2014.   It affected 3 billion accounts and according to bing.com allegedly Russian agent hackers stole usernames, email, address, and passwords, enabling identity theft and cyber-espionage.  The internet has it’s blessing and has its curses.

  9.  Ethical Hacking?

Do you know what ethical hacking is?   Ethical hacking employs the same methods as malicious hackers, but instead of exploiting vulnerabilities, ethical hackers report them to organizations so preventive measures can be implemented.    Forbes.com talks about this.  They further added that types of ethical hacking might include penetration testing, system hacking, internal testing, web application testing, and Network Hacking.  Yes, there are benefits to Ethical hacking.  They allow an organization to discover its weak spots before they can be exploited and they can save organizations large sums of money, as well as protecting them from the loss of a good reputation.

  10. 5 Phases of Ethical Hacking

What are the 5 phases of ethical hacking?  The 5 phases include Reconnaissance (Foot printing Phase), scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and covering tracks.  According to geeksforgeeks.org., once this step is completed it means the ethical hacker has successfully gained access to the system or network, exploited vulnerabilities, and exited without detection.

  11. What is Money Laundering?

Are you familiar with the concept of money laundering? Money laundering involves disguising financial assets so they can be used without detection of the illegal activity that produced them.  Fincen.gov. talks about this.   They further added money laundering provides the fuel for drug dealers, terrorists, arms dealers, and other criminals to operate and expand their criminal

9 Sensory Activities for Adults

Did you know that sensory play is not just for kids?  Sensory activities for adults are a powerful way to relax the mind, reduce stress, and reconnect with the present moment.

Just to See You Smile. . .

***Purpose***

    1.   Baking Benefits

How many of you love to bake?  I recall my aunt was from a family of seven.  During my teenage years with her there was only her and me.  I asked her why she cooked large meals?   She would bake several cakes and several pies.   She replied, “Coming from a large family that was all she knew to do was to fix large meals.”  I also remember her making cinnamon rolls.   I still love them today.  I remember smelling the aroma of cinnamon as I could smell it throughout the house.  Whenever I purchase a Cinnabon I think of her amazing cinnamon rolls.

According to diyfairy.com sensory activities can reduce anxiety levels by up to 60% in seniors with cognitive impairments, 85% of caregivers report improved mood in seniors during home care visits, engaging in sensory activities leads to a 50% increase in positive engagement compared to traditional activities, and activities involving smell and touch can increase memory recall events by 25% for seniors with cognitive impairments.  They further added that baking with adults and seniors is not just fun, it is good for emotional and mental health. Measuring, mixing, and shaping dough helps maintain senior’s skills that have early-stage dementia.  Favorite smells like vanilla or cinnamon can bring back happy memories and boost their senses; thus, giving them a sense of purpose and achievement.

     2.   Activities for Adults with Disabilities

Are you or do you know of adults with disabilities?  Disabilitydame.com suggests activities that engage in smell which include smelling a fresh bouquet of flowers, making candles using different essential oils, doing a blind smell test with air fresheners, creating different fruit drinks and smell the ingredients, and playing with scented water beads.

     3.   Sensory Room in Bay City, Michigan

Did you know that there is a Sensory Room in Bay City, Michigan?  Mlive.com talks about it.  I also saw this on the news on television as well.   The Tummy Ache Candy Store, 1116 N. Johnson St.,  Sound in Silence, a dedicated room at the back of the store, has been introduced to provide customers with an opportunity to engage their senses through carefully curated sounds and vibrations.   

    4.   Sensory Room for Adults

Have you ever been in a Sensory Room?  Sensoryone.com talks about Virtual Reality as a great way to entertain and engage sensory room users with the use of no headsets.   They further added that visitors can feel the calming effects of the tool just by stepping into the room. Can you only imagine?  Often as people age, they experience a reduction or loss of some of their senses.     

    5.  Sensory Boards for Adults

Did You Know that the ideal settings for Adult Sensory walls might include workplaces, therapy centers, home environments, and public spaces such as community centers. Bumblebeesmart.com talks about this.   They further added that you may want to choose calming colors, include interactive features, using sensory panels for a particular age group, create a multi-sensory experience, and consider accessibility. 

    6.  Creating a Sensory Room

Have you ever thought about creating your own sensory room?   Your sensory room might include a variety of sensory stimuli such as fidgets, tactile tools, a cozy canoe, weighted lap pads, or a swing.   This is also talked about at bumblesmart.com.

    8.  DIY Sensory Tools You Can Create

Possibly you prefer to create your own DIY Sensory Tools.   These Sensory tools might include stress balls, textured fabrics, essential oils, visualization techniques.   Everyou.eu talks about these.  They further added that  when you get started to be sure to choose 2-3 tools you will actually reach for, keep them visible, use them preventatively, and pair them with breathing. 

The essential oil sounds inviting to me.   Although I have never tried essentials oils.  It brings to my remembrance of an old cologne that one of my aunts used to wear “White Diamonds.”  Whenever I smell a cologne or perfume like that I immediately think of her.  Just talking about fragrances brings back so many memories.   My father used to smoke cherry fragrance tobacco in a pipe.   I can still smell that fragrance. Do you remember any favorite scents or fragrances from your past?  

    9.  Engaging Sensory Activities for Adults

How is your sense of taste?  Have you ever tried experimenting with different teas or coffee?   I am not a coffee drinker.  Some coffees all taste the same to me, but there has been an occasion when I tasted coffee, and it just did not taste good at all.  I have discovered that some teas, even though they say are good for you, do not agree with me.  I've found a tea I love.   It is Earl-Gray tea with bergamot.   This tea is 100% natural, that is something that I like about it and it does taste very good. I feel very relaxed after drinking it as well.    Autismparentingmagazine.com talks about this. They further added you might try creating an ice cream sundae or just try new food with various tastes and textures during meals to widen your sensory experiences.
