    In today's independent science research, I began thinking about a new project. For the longest time, I have been wondering about the association between blinking and other behaviours. When I was in elementary, I realized some people blinked more than others. Of course it had to do with the dryness of the eyes, but what if there were associations with concentration, meditation, etc..? Can it change the amount of times you blink? Personally, when I am more conscious about blinking, I feel as I blink a lot more. Being conscious of my behaviour seems to always change the way I think or act. This week, I was doing a research paper for ap psychology on mental disorders and elderly suicides. The outcome of the experiment had been that many of the elderly who had been conscious of their state of mind and had attempted to reach out for help had successfully prevented themselves from committing suicide. However, the ones who either did not want to admit or did not accept the fact that they had anxiety disorders, etc.. were the ones that ended up to end their lives. This made me realize the importance of awareness in the behaviour, and how this portrays the way they act.
