Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness has helped me notice the half-life of my emotions and reduce them greatly. As soon as you notice emotion, you'll see it's half-life just whoop, shoot down. Something Sam Harris says.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing is like the fuel to the function of your whole entire body.
So James Nester wrote a great book called Breath: The New Science Of A Lost Art by James Nestor. So check that out if you haven't.
But one of the key things for breathing is having a breath that you go to every day and Ocean Breath is my go-to.
So Just put your hand in front of your face and you just try to fog it up like you would a glass. And now you do the same thing except with your mouth closed and you notice you get a lot deeper breath.
And then maintain that breath five and a half seconds. Inhale five and a half seconds. Exhale Whenever you can.

Bullying Story

Clement Decrop shared a personal experience from high school where witnessing bullying left a lasting impact on him. He regrets not taking action and believes that a deeper meditation and mindfulness practice could have empowered him to intervene.
Also, Clement emphasizes the importance of teaching meditation to young people to encourage ego detachment. He explains that many instances of bullying stem from kids forming a strong sense of self, akin to developing an identity over time.
Clement draws parallels to the concept of the “illusion of self” and the difficulty of defining oneself precisely. Meditation helps children detach from their egos, which can prevent hurtful words and actions.
Clement Decrop advocates teaching mindfulness scientifically to help kids understand and reduce harm they may cause each other.
