Mindful Awareness happens when we give our brains time to respond (think) to what we see and hear
–Think about a time you’ve been angry and you’ve counted to 10……by the time we get to 10, we usually feel better ~ we just gave our brain some time to respond
–What do you think is happening in your brain when we give it time to respond (think)?
We learned about the word ~ REFLECT.....it means giving my body and brain some time to think.
