Effect on Emotions

Through meditation, Tim has gained a new perspective on his emotions. Previously, he held negative associations with certain emotions. However, he now understands that emotions themselves are not inherently negative or positive. Instead, he recognizes that everything in life comes with trade-offs, pros, and cons.
Tim acknowledges that his previous fixation on one aspect of his emotions led to resistance and exaggerated reactions, making them more significant than necessary.
By embracing the understanding that everything exists within a duality or varying degrees, he has found a sense of balance. This realization has helped him approach his emotions with greater equanimity and acceptance, allowing him to navigate them with more ease and without judgment.

Thoughts on Breathing

Tim emphasizes the importance of energy check-ins and breathwork to optimize his presence and productivity. By monitoring his energy levels and engaging in intentional breathwork when needed, he ensures he shows up at his best.
Taking deep breaths helps him reconnect with his body, activate the parasympathetic response, and reduce stress, leading to increased productivity and overall well-being.
