Memory : Sensory Eating

The next time you are eating a meal alone, close your eyes and use your senses of smell, taste and touch to experience the meal. Try to identify the foods without seeing them. Notice how texture is a big part of the experience. By blocking out your sense of vision you will be putting more attention toward your other senses, helping strengthen your underused senses.

Hold your nose while you take a bite and you will notice how important the sense of smell is to fully tasting food. This is why foods taste bland when you have a cold.

Tick-Tock! Crazy Clock Optical Illusion

Tick! Tock! Tick! Tock! It’s a crazy clock optical illusion today!

Mornings are bad enough without having to worry about our clocks moving on us. It think that if I had this particular clock, I would probably just blow off the day before it even started for me. Just crawl back under the covers and hide…

This is one of those nutty moving optical illusions with some clock hands added for good measure. The background of this clock optical illusion seems to rotate and move when I move my eyes to the side and look at it out of the corner of my eye. I can’t even imagine having this hanging on my wall. I would probably avoid looking at the clock even more than I already do now!

Would you hang this clock on your wall in your house? Or would you save it for your mortal enemy’s house?
