Effect on Emotions
- I had never heard that emotions are our feedback; their unrealized thoughts are thoughts that have fully been formed. If I see a Tiger in the Jungle, I know that Tiger is gonna eat me. I can be scared. That's that type of emotion.
- We talk about having a gut feeling that's something to express itself and can't do it in a traditional way.
- Mindfulness helps me. I've chosen this path to be okay and be aware. Not all of the feelings are good. The whole spectrum is here to teach me something. And I can embrace it. I don't need to suppress any of it. And I need to listen to it more. I need to be aware of it.
Thoughts on Breathing
- I wasn't aware of my breath or wasn't aware of how powerful and automated our breath is and that when I focus on my breath, just that simple thing, it's easy to calm down, and it's easy to become present.
- So when I'm angry, let me just breathe through this for a minute. And allow us to process and take some time to think versus just reacting. When I'm starting the day, can I just focus on my breath and remind myself to be aware and be here. Even 10 or 20 minutes into that in the morning can change the rest of the day.
- Breath is such a simple thing to follow. As those of us who practice meditation know, it can be hard to stay focused because thoughts come floating by constantly to interrupt that.

Bullying Story
- I've seen some bullying behavior from certain individuals and what medicine has forced me to do is look at that and say what is really happening? Why am I allowing myself to interact with this person? Or how am I interacting with this person? And then what do I need to do to change that interaction? And to do so in a way that is not good, not from a victim's perspective.
- I appreciate what you're trying to teach me, and I've recreated thinking of an older gentleman who I felt bullied from. My father was an alcoholic, who was an older person who would have these one moment, everything's fine, the next moment be a fit of rage.

Most Influential Person
- Boo-ah (That's me. A creation of both me and my ex-wife). His personality had an incredible, calming influence on me. His personality rubbed off on me, and Boo-ah is a deeply kind, generous, and deeply thoughtful, mindful character.
Effect on Emotions
- Being aware that you can't change something, and learning to accept it reduces massively, frustration for me. So one thing that I got out of my experience in Mauritius, and my depression, was that frustration in my life reduced significantly afterward.
- Because I could accept that things move at speed, they move out. If I can't change that speed, then I need to accept that speed is something I don't appreciate or don't want in my life, or happening. If I can't change it, I need to accept it. And that reduces stress and reduces frustration. And it's been life-changing.
Thoughts on Breathing
- The only time I ever focus on my own breathing is when I'm singing, and what I've learned from singing is that I got quite powerful lungs, so I can actually get a lot of air in and sing quite a lot of time without taking another breath.
- So one of the things I do when I'm singing, I'm playing with double bass, is learn to breathe incredibly deeply, and that may be added to the pleasure of playing the music because I would imagine I'm getting huge hits of oxygen every time I do that.

Bullying Story
- Sometimes in my personal life, but in business as well, I feel that I've been bullied by somebody. And it's more along the lines of manipulation. But manipulation is a kind of bullying. And it's psychologically very violent.
- It seems like normal behavior, and what I also know is it's a normal relationship, but I feel bullied. And if I am mindful of the fact that I don't want to do what they're pushing me to do, and can just say, well, actually, no, this is what I need, this is what I want. I would be much better off.

Effect on Emotions
- It completely changed the way I live. Prior to getting it, it was all over the map and expanding energy all over the place. Now, it's just about energy conservation and nonreactivity. So it's been very positive.
Thoughts on Breathing
- My only thought is, I don't think we get taught enough about how important it is. And that's why we're here. But we forgot. We get distracted, and we take it for granted that we can always have it.
- I had an anaphylactic shock once, and luckily it was in a medical situation. But when she said you are not breathing, it's incredibly tough. And you recognize at that moment that, oh, look at what I'm taking advantage of or taking for granted.

Bullying Story
- I wasn't bullied as a child, but I was in a very much bullied environment as an adult in the last sort of 20 years. It was interesting because the first one lasted about three years of awful treatment and accepting it. And I don't know why I accepted it. But I was in this situation for three years, with management that was really awful by any standard.
- I left that, and I went to do something else. Another project. And I immediately recognized that this was a similar situation. And, because I had started to be more mindful and more aware and listening to myself and just more attentive because of the previous experience.
- The second experience where bullying and absolute toxicity were present, I retracted and pulled myself out of that situation as fast as I could. But bullying is such an awful thing today. and

Effect on Emotions
- The key for me, and what I tried to teach is for people to slow their life down; you're not going to be mindful, you're not going to be conscious.
- If you're going 100 miles an hour, because your mind is going to be all over the place, you need to slow down first. And then second, be willing to put the time in because mindfulness demands a slower pace and commitment to learning over time.
Thoughts on Breathing
- I use it as a preparation for meditation. Breathing puts you in the moment because you got to focus on your breathing. So the one thing people don't think about is that they think I gotta go slow. And there you are, there's that slow and my mind has to work on this. Because all of it ties in together.
- It doesn't matter what breathing exercises; you can go online and find good breathing exercises, and they're all good. Essentially, what it means is slow and keep your mind focused on the in and out of your breathing. You are now in a position of mindfulness of consciousness in terms of what you're doing.

Bullying Story
- What happens is that when you're bullied for a while, you begin to take that person on and you begin to act as a victim, not just with that bully, but everywhere.
- It's one of the reasons why parents take a while to identify this because the kids come home, and then they're different and they're angry, or they're reacting or they're crying or they're isolating, and they don't understand that that's dictum stuff.
- I tell people, if the bully is bullying, and you go and hit the bully, you did something, but when you don't, you internalize all those features, and you bring him right into your heart and into your mind. Now you start being that and it really affects the way that kids and even adults move forward. Because it's not just bullying in school, it's bullying in the workplace. It's social bullying, it's everywhere. It's online

Effect on Emotions
- It's everything. The thing about mindfulness is it's quick in 10 commandments, I think it's the second recommendation I shall not become entrenched in my emotions. We get all sorts of entrenched in our emotions.
- Our emotions are just a guide to show us what's good for us and what's not. So if we feel yucky, then don't do that. And if we feel good, do more of that. And so if we're mindful of our emotions, then we can regulate them.
Thoughts on Breathing
- I have truly learned to take a breath. I've learned mindfulness I've learned to become mindful of what I hold my breath. When I'm tense. I've learned to become mindful of when I'm in pain or worried to breathe through it.
- When you see Lamaze, people have given birth, and they're teaching them how to breathe. I remember, as a young woman, I was like, That's stupid. But I've come to realize that the breath is when you focus on the breath, it really you could handle anything. So for me, just the act of when I feel myself get tense to take a breath, or before I make a rash decision to take a breath.

- If we individually learned to value ourselves and not to circle back to VEDA because what I do is I touch on every developmental age. And when the trauma or when something happens that alters the mindset that creates a belief system that might be toxic, or doesn't serve you.
- Bullies are looking for power, they're looking to be seen and heard. So we label them. And even as adults, we label the narcissist, the empath, the bully, and the victim. But the reality is, every single one of us the bullies in the non-bullies, just wants our needs to be met.

Effect on Emotions
- It goes back to my talk about having those people in your life that speak into you like they've helped me remain mindful about who I am. And where I'm going. It's a really intentional effort for me to remember the direction I'm going in, and where I want to end up in life.
- I'm journaling and those are the two things, sometimes talking myself through journaling. But mainly being around the right people that speak into me, so that I can see right, I can get that perspective. And then making sure again, I'm going back and journaling that. But that has been some stuff that's actually helped me a lot.
Thoughts on Breathing
- You want to be intentional with it. When stress starts hitting, you start falling behind on emails, you got a pile of papers on your desk, we start panting without realizing it, like we breathe really, really shallow. I just remind myself and that was another great reminder to sit back and just deep breathe.
- If you do that, I don't know all the brain stuff, but you do that four or five times, my head actually feels different. It feels like I'm actually getting oxygen. And I've got a renewed energy. So breathing has been huge for me to be mindful with where I am and how I can continue showing my best self instead of continuing to be confined, confined, confined, get more shallow, more shallow. That's been really helpful for me.

Bullying Story
- I wasn't necessarily directly bullied growing up, or even as an adult or anything like that. if you could consider this in some way, was in some of my relationships growing up with girlfriends.
- A lot of them end up being manipulative like they've been manipulating me a lot, and I didn't even notice it, or I would just kind of confined to it. And it got to the point where I was so scared of confrontation, that anytime someone would buck up against me, like even in business, I would immediately back down because I felt like it was gonna end up bringing pain to me or discomfort.
- And that took me a long time to get over. It was painful and it's taken me years of mindfulness and exercise, and coaching to be able to overcome that. and be willing to embrace a little bit of discomfort because of how negatively that affected me and that was the extent.

Effect on Emotions
- Mindfulness has allowed me to step back from the 3d temporal world and understand that each being, no matter what their species might be, is here on their own journey. It's above my paygrade to understand why they choose particular challenges like Johnny Appleseed in his schizophrenia.
- My mindfulness has allowed me to believe wholeheartedly, that only good things will come to me. Always. And sometimes the most incredible gifts come wrapped in the worst paper. But the trick is to keep your eye on the gift.
Thoughts on Breathing
- One of the things that often happens to us is we get overwhelmed to the point where we just can't process anything else and we kind of shut down. And I have a little 478 I am enough exercise that I think is very helpful.
- So the first thing you need to do is take both hands and cross them. And then place them over your heart, in the center of your chest. Then close your eyes. And we're going to breathe, we're going to inhale for a count of 4x, hold for a count of seven, and then exhale down for a count of eight. And we're going to do that three times.
- While we're doing it, I'm going to be talking with you. And all you have to do is repeat what I'm saying inside your head. Inhale for four. I am enough. Hold for seven. I am enough. And exhale down for eight. I am enough. One more time. Inhale for four. I am enough. Hold for seven. I am enough. And exhale down for eight. And one last time, inhale for four, I am enough. Hold for seven. I am enough. And exhale down for eight I am enough. And then, when you're ready, open your eyes.

Bullying Story
- I had a little boy who came to me and he was in the third grade. And he was being picked on something fierce by some older boys, fourth graders and fifth graders. They would take his money and push him down and all this kind of stuff and he didn't want to go back to school. And he was feeling really bad.
- So I taught him how to meditate. Little third grade meditation. He was a great kid. And I taught him about how people who are bullies aren't scared themselves and don't feel good about who they are, and what they're looking for from you is a reaction. That's what fuels them and gives them power. So if you don't give them that, then they'll leave you alone.

Effect on Emotions
- Feel your feelings, but I am much quicker to regulate. So if I do get emotional, I do cry, but because of mindfulness, I'm actually able to identify why I'm feeling that way and how I want to feel and take the next step that way. And so it may take you days to counteract that in the beginning, but now I can do it within an hour or less. Self-Care
Thoughts on Breathing
- The book BREATH will teach you a lot about how we have not been taking care of ourselves and using this amazing tool we have, which is our breath. You can experience mindful breathing with two quick inhales through the nose and exhale out the mouth. That is like an instant drop in your nervous system. Self-Care
- The other thing is a five and a half second inhale through the nose, and five and a half second exhale. The perfect breath is about 10 to 11 seconds and in Pilates, the first exercise you do on the mat is the 100. And you breathe in for five and out for five.

Bullying Story
- This last holiday season, I had some online bullying happening to me, and it was awful. It was horrible. It made me afraid of my own phone, made me afraid to show up for my own communities. Self-Care
- Having mindfulness, I had to use all the tools, and some of the tools would work, but having that allowed me to feel the feeling like if you're being bullied, it's okay to feel that like you're being like I'm being attacked right now.
- I was able to use mindfulness to go back into the reason why I do what I do, like, who am I actually doing this for? Am I doing this for this bully? Am I doing it for the people that fall in love with this bully? Or am I doing this for these people over here who don't even know that this bullying is happening?

Effect on Emotions
- Focusing on what you need and what will help you be the best version of yourself, whether that is, I need to go to the gym more and get physically fit, or I need to take a walk. Maybe I need to do something that I enjoy like watching a movie or building a lego set, or traveling. It's focusing on what you need and that will help you be more successful.
Thoughts on Breathing
- I can now realize when I am in a state of stress or anxiety. That is when I can do what I need to do to get out of that. I don't necessarily use breathing techniques. I just realize what anxiety or stress looks like for me and then I do things to delete the stress.

Bullying Story
- I didn't experience much bullying; it was more just teasing or having passive-aggressive friendships that always happened within my friend group. We were always picking on each other.
- There were points when I looked back and felt bad that I had said that. I didn't really think about it that way until I got out of college and had matured and had a better mindset on my past. People knew what buttons they could push with me.
