Effect On Emotions

Anger. Yeah, definitely. Those anger spike moments and realizing, you know, to do that breath work and realizing what's going on; hey, you're losing it, you're losing it.
And you're losing your self-control of the situation. Take that breath, you know, back up, look at the picture of what's actually going on.

Thoughts On Breathing

Yeah. I mean, man, I have the book Breath by James Nester. I couldn't believe when I was reading through that phenomenal book, with just the different techniques and stuff. There are also so many apps out there these days.
There is also pranayama. Sometimes it's actually just called prana.

Bullying Story

I have talked to my kids about bullying. The nice thing for them anyway, is their mom is also six foot tall.
So both of my kids are head and shoulders taller than everyone else in their class. So I have tried to instill in them that they are probably stronger than most of the kids around them, and it's their duty to be a protector for others. I have tried to instill in them, rather than using their strength for bad, use that strength for good.
