Pause and intentionally bring attention to the next 3 breaths

“In his book Mindsight, Dan Siegel outlines the nine functions of the prefrontal lobes. Thanks to FMRI Imaging we now know that the prefrontal lobe area of the brain is strengthened through mindfulness meditation. What does this mean? “   This is an excerpt from the worksheet  Activate Positive Brain Activity Through Mindfulness Meditation” posted on the informative websitewww.mindfulhub.com.
The worksheet, provides a description of each of the 9 prefrontal lobe functions outlined by Dan Siegel: bodily regulation, attuned communication, emotional balance, fear modulation, response flexibility, insight, empathy, moral awareness, and intuition. 
You can find the full one page worksheet at this link: http://mindfulhub.com/wp-content/uploads/Activate-positive-brain-activity-FR.pdf
Wishing you many mindful moments today
