Today, we reviewed what it means to be Mindful:
to focus
to concentrate
to pay attention
to think before we speak
We talked about the connections that neurons make in our brains from our taste buds/mouths to our brains. Those connections either wake up our brain and make it active to do my work, or it makes me feel yucky and not able to focus.
Tastes are either good or bad when the connections are made in our brains.
We reflected how our brains felt ~ were we doing our best listening and being mindful? We then tasted peppermint lifesavers and talked about how we felt at that time.
We talked about that scientists have done studies and shared with us that sometimes peppermint helps to wake our brains up and make us more alert!
