Emotions and Breathing

Mindfulness helps me remember to breathe. I breathe out all the bad stuff, squeeze it out of my lungs as if my lungs are a sponge. All the bad stuff like the grief, anger, frustration, and overwhelm.
I try to remember to do it now when I'm awake in the middle of the night and something's bothering me.
I try to inhale all the good stuff like joy, comfort, grace, and grit, if that's what's needed. I inhale determination, strength, and confidence. Then I breathe out again whatever bad stuff is there, like fear and insecurity. Get rid of it, get rid of it, get rid of it.

Mindfulness To Succeed

You just have to take things one piece at a time. You need to break things down and say what needs to happen today.
If that's going to happen today, what's going to happen before lunch. And if that's going to happen before lunch, what do I need to be doing right now.
Pay attention to immediate details. A lot of fire fighting. Focus comes with the size of the fire, I guess.
