Overstimulated, Touched-Out, and Trying Not to Lose It
Description
Today's Scripture: Mark 6:31-32
**Today's devotional is in response to listener requests.**
In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook reflects on Jesus’ tender invitation to come away to a quiet place and rest. She explores overstimulation, constant availability, and why honoring your limits is not a failure of love—it may be what helps you return to love. We explore:
*Why overstimulation is often a capacity issue
*How noise, touch, screens, interruptions, and emotional demands affect your nervous system
*Why Jesus honors human limits instead of shaming them
*How to step away from the noise without abandoning the people you love
*Why quiet, rest, and spaciousness are so important
