Mindfulness Mode

Becca Ribbing is the author of The Clarity Journal and has been a coach for over a decade. She's on a mission to help people break out of the cycles of uncertainty and struggle that hold them back. She helps women going back and forth with the big, seemingly endless question of what to do next—so they can stop going around in circles and finally figure out what they truly want and create the clarity and momentum they crave. So many people find themselves stuck and unsure of their direction. Using journaling prompts and helping people become more honest with themselves, she moves her readers forward gently and empowers them to embrace their strengths while letting go of any negative self-talk that has held them back in the past. She's been on many podcasts, including “What To Read Next” and “Say Yes.”

Effect on Emotions

• I think my emotions have helped me be aware. The thing that helped me do the most is to apologize because if we can be mindful about what we're doing, we can't always control our emotions.
• However, we can always control our response to them, at least after the fact, and make sure that we repair them. Break The Cycle

Thoughts on Breathing

• As someone who has a perpetually stuffy nose, I think this is where we get into adults have a lot of rules for breathing. And it is okay if you have a deviated septum or if you have allergies like you don't need to do it, quote, unquote in order to do it right for you.

Bullying Story

• I homeschooled my son for a couple of years and when I first started homeschooling him, what everyone would say is; how is he going to make friends? How is he going to socialize? That's what I thought of when you thought of homeschooling.
• They knew my kid was a social butterfly. The question everyone asked me was, how was he going to learn to deal with difficult people?  Break The Cycle
• They may be in bullying situations, like in the most extreme, but they are not being treated well. They could be in a bad situation and for that nine months are gonna be stuck with that teacher they don't like and who doesn't like them. Then it changes, or it doesn't.
• Because if it's a kid, and you just happen to be in that class again next year, then we're actually teaching kids that they don't have control over it. I see adults playing this out over and over and over again. Break The Cycle
