The Benefits of Mindfulness: Managing Stress and Nervousness
Comprehending Mindfulness The practice of mindfulness involves keeping an eye on our thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and immediate surroundings. It entails acceptance, which means that we observe our ideas and emotions without passing judgment on them—for example, by not holding the view that there is a "right" or "wrong" way to feel or think at any particular time.

History of the Candy Cane
The origin of the candy cane has a long history steeped in tradition and folklore. Legend has it that it was created in Germany by a mid-17th-century choirmaster and the candy spread worldwide. It is often believed that the Germans designed the hook on the candy cane to hang it from the Christmas tree, instead of representing the shepherd’s crook. Peppermint flavoring was not added until the 18th century. It was not until the turn of the 20th century that the red and white stripes were added. The mass production of the candy cane we know today began in the 1920’s. The candy cane has come a long way since it was first designed.
