The Science of Beauty: How Your Surroundings Can Renew Your Spirit #228
Have you ever noticed how your surroundings can change the way you feel?
Friend, beauty isn’t just decoration. The things we see around us can affect how we feel and even influence the rhythms and habits we create.
This week, Bonnie is kicking off a new "Science + Scripture of Wellness Series" on Breathe, exploring one question: What does science tell us about how God designed us, and how does Scripture help us live it?
In this episode, Bonnie shares a recent personal story that made her look at beauty—and the way she cares for her own environment—in a whole new way.
You’ll discover how small cues of beauty can invite you to slow down, create healthier rhythms, and notice more of the beauty God has already placed around you.
In This Episode
— Why your surroundings can affect how you feel and behave
— How visual cues can support healthier daily rhythms
— Why beauty doesn’t have to be frivolous or selfish
— What Jesus’ words teach us about beauty and God’s care
— One simple way to bring more beauty into your everyday space
— How to connect beauty with a soul care rhythm like prayer, journaling, nourishing meals, or rest

Inhale: You make my life beautiful…
