These strategies change up the routine and add novelty to awaken the brain and help it to stay focused
What are brain intervals?
This is how the brain and body communicate and work together all day long! It contains pathways that slow us down or speed us up!
What is the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)?
Seahorse structure that sits next to the amygdala and is responsible for learning and memory

The practices that are part of our routines that dampen the stress response systems and build sustained attention
What are Focused Attention Practices?
Longer term hormone secreted throughout the brain and body when we move to an extended fight/flight/freeze response
What is cortisol?
When we practice a behavior, skill, feeling, or thoughts over and over again, the circuits in the brain become stronger, and we become automatic in our responses!
