- I have been uncharacteristically called an atypical cardiac surgeon. In the operating room, everyone always says, how come he's so calm.
- That calmness is because of mindfulness. Just taking time, having peace and presence of mind. That's how mindfulness has impacted me. It's given me a great amount of equanimity at times of duress.
- Mindfulness is very central and it's foundational to keeping myself centered and I also believe it helps to regulate my heart rate.
- I wear a sensor watch so I'm always proud of myself when my resting heart-rate is in the 40's. Sometimes I can get it down to 41 or 42.
- I'm also a runner so I should qualify that. I don't take any beta blockers. It's my way of saying to myself, I'm doing well.

- I got my son to learn how to meditate at a young age so he could use mindfulness in his life.
- He embraced mindfulness and found a lot of value from it. I remind him now that he's in the stress of high school with a rigorous curriculum that he should use it as a way to bring himself back to present. It will give him the calm and the space to look at the world and understand how you fit into life holistically.
- Mindfulness gives me the opportunity to have gratitude and that has been very helpful.
