Hickchic thinks....


I shall, now that my girls are startin back to school tomorrow...post a thought to ponder and a new brain trainin exercise for those of you that would like to keep that brain in shape. It should be beneficial as well as a fun daily thang for those willin to participate! So have already given your thought to ponder for the day, with calgon take me away....so now for your brain trainin....

Tonite as you are gettin ready fur bed: brush your teeth with your non dominate hand, brush with your eyes open, eyes closed, actually pay attention to how the bristles feel against your gums. Hum a tune as you brush. Actually, smell the scent of your toothpaste...is it minty? Try walkin in place while you brush. Feel your teeth with your tongue, do they feel clean yet? Use as many of your senses as you can come up with while you brush. Next, while closin your eyes proceed to put your PJ's on (works better if you can get someone to help, by placin your cloths beside you, while your eyes are closed, but if ya ain't got no help, then place them beside you and then mix them up as much as possible). Or try this variation, place your cloths on the floor and use only your feet while your eyes are closed to pick up your cloths and hand them to your hands. Pay close attention to the texture of your PJ's...are they silky or soft? Again, use that sense of smell, before you put them on... also as your eyes are closed with your mind's eye see yourself doin the tasks at hand...and for you, that sleep in your birthday suits....welp don't forget to brush your teeth!
Hickchic thinks....my brain has been gettin a bit sluggish as of late and I will be doin the above. And note for peace of mind, I ain't just makin this stuff up...I have done much research on the study of neurobics for the brain. It is scientifically proven that breakin away from the routine of our lives and performin new experieces while usin as many of our senses; touch, smell, taste, sight, and hearin as well as spatial memory or emotions helps to stimulate the brain and produce growth and nutrients for our brains. Oops, darn did I just go actin all smart again...I hate when that happens. Anywho, hickchic hopes you'll give it a try and leave comments to let me know how it went.
