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?
