Effect on Emotions

• This is something I'm working on so much, just the awareness of them, the awareness that it's just an emotion and that it's normal and okay. There's judgment behind it. I can make this into something better than what it is right now.

Thoughts on Breathing

• I will notice immediately if I'm not taking a deep breath like all of us, I just do this like a gasp of air. That is something that I've been much more purposeful about in my day. And it's something that I do before I jump into my day before I do my brain dump list. If I start feeling that overwhelmed feeling during the day, I always start with a few deep breaths, because it's just that perfect moment to reset. What am I doing? Am I being intentional?

Bullying Story

•  I think about bullying as I was a Catholic school kid who transferred into a public school and immediately got the identity of the ‘goody two shoes'. I was always smart and I've always loved time management. I love the little planners you'd get when you're in middle school. Because of being a new kid; I was a bit unaware of a lot of the things that public school kids were aware of because I was from a really small Catholic school. That just made me a target immediately right off the bat.
• I think looking back, my choice was to lean into that identity versus not fighting against it. But I just made it. I leaned into that identity to just make it easier to soften the blow of what the kids were saying, versus saying like, No, I'm actually much more complex than that. And I'm not going to let myself be put into any kind of box.
