Once you are aware of an emotion and label it as an emotion, you see it as an emotion. It's kind of like magic. All of a sudden it doesn't push and pull you around.The emotions then serve you rather than you serve them. Thoughts on Breathing I've come to think of breathing for me as a really powerful way to pull myself into a state of awareness.I often start my morning practice by breathing to a count of 4 seconds and then a slow and controlled exhalation. When you have a longer, more pronounced exhalation, it causes a down-regulating effect on the nervous system.In other words, it is a calming and centering sensation. I've leaned into doing more breath work and more focused breathing types of meditation practice.

    Bullying Story
    • I had a conversation last night with a client who has high levels of anxiety. Much of it had to do with neglect, abuse, and bullying in his history. I was sharing with him about the magnificence of our nervous system and how anxiety helps us understand what we need.
    • Rather than resisting, fighting against, or condemning anxiety, we need to allow it to inform us in our bodies and our nervous system about what's going on so we can attend to it.
    • If we can learn how to soothe our nervous system, we can come out of that state.

I don't think they're not valid, I think that's part of our humanity.I try to approach everything with logic and reason. There are times when I am overjoyed and times when I am really sad.I recognize those emotions, but I think that the mindfulness piece is: Are my emotions telling me the truth right now? Or is this just a feeling that I can approach with logic and reason? I'm not Spock, I'm not a Vulcan. I'm still allowed to have humanity and remain focused on the task at hand. Thoughts on Breathing It's interesting that when you lift, you don't breathe—you hold your breath. This creates inter-abdominal tightness, which sometimes scares people, but it's what keeps you tight from losing rigidity.When I breathe, I'm trying to get myself into a parasympathetic tone or a relaxed state.I use breathing, mindfulness, and focus to get myself out of those times of heightened emotion and a heightened nervous system and bring myself back down to earth so that I can focus on the things that really matter.

The place of sharing is actually down the road.If you look at the 12-step programs used in AA or NA, they have a very specific process for self-healing. The 12 steps can be divided into three groups. The first six steps are becoming aware and overcoming this condition of unconsciousness. The last two groupings in the last six steps are when the sharing and teaching occur.You're becoming a teacher to others based on what you have accomplished in the first six steps. Most Effective Way To Explore Yourself Meditation is the most effective way to explore yourself. In some of the books I've written, I share some processes to expedite the healing process.Remember the old days when you would go to the library and look up the index card? The index card would have a brief summary of the book. You would have to go to the book to get the information that you needed. Our stories are like the index card.In order to get to what you want to learn, you have to go to the emotions. You have to heal the emotional baggage. It is the process of enlightenment. It is the path, not the destination. Doing the work is entirely up to you. Meditation is by far the most productive way to accomplish this.

    Effect on Emotions
    • While growing up I think a lot of us are taught to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps. Through mindfulness, I've learned that those emotions are stored in the body and you can't run from them.
    • Those emotions will come out. It could be in the form of shingles and anxiety attacks which I've had. You can't run from that kind of stuff. It stays in there.
    • It Will metastasize cells into skin cancer. We've seen that happen twice actually with my wife. Stress and those emotions don't run away.
    Thoughts on Breathing
    • The reason why in meditation we focus on our breath blew my mind when I first started practicing meditation.
    • We focus on our breath because the only place that we can breathe is in the present moment. If we're trying to cultivate presence through meditation, all we have to do is focus on our breath.
    • Close your eyes, feel your chest move in and out. When I first learned that, it was the biggest aha moment for me.

    Bullying Story
    • My first job after graduation was in outside sales for a manufacturing company. I was sent to Boston with no cost-of-living adjustment and just two weeks of PTO.
    • During the holidays, I asked my manager if I could work from our home office to spend more time with family. He yelled, questioning why I thought I was special.
    • I pushed back aggressively, feeling cornered.
    • Looking back, I cringe. If I’d practiced mindfulness, I’d have responded with more compassion—for myself and for him—and likely managed the situation better.

    Effect on Emotions
    • Mindfulness has made a night-and-day difference in how I deal with my emotions. Understanding that if I can sit with my emotions, understand them, accept them, and process them, although painful today, prevents my triggers from the future.
    • You can get to a really, really happy place when you've taken the time to process those.
    Thoughts on Breathing
    • Every course that we do starts with breathing. When you find gratitude for having your breath, I think the world changes for every human.
    • I use breathing techniques with my boxing team every day.

    Bullying Story
    • I've been on both sides of that bully fence. I had a really challenging time in my youth. My first moment of mindfulness was probably when I was 7 or 8 years old.
    • I didn't have the mindfulness I needed at the moment, and I became a very violent young person. Someone was calling me a name, and I got very angry.
    • This was my first time in court-ordered therapy. I attacked somebody for calling me a name. At that moment I was living a life of looking up to my peers.
    • I look at that moment in my life very frequently about how I reacted and what I did. It was the first time I went to therapy.

    Wes Watson, my first coach

    Effect on Emotions
    • All we are is this big old ball of emotions. Those emotions are trying to hijack us from doing what's actually important to us.
    • If we're unaware of all these different emotions that we have and what they're trying to do then it's really easy to be distracted.
    • I have mindful practices that I go through every single day that help to ground and center me. They help me get back on track. It's changed my life.
    Thoughts on Breathing
    • I know there is Wim Hof and a lot of people have specifically practiced breathing. I recognize in myself that when I am praying, I slow my breathing down.
    • As I slow my breathing down, everything slows down. My mind slows down, and any energy I have slows down.
    • Although I don't practice breathing, breathing is part of the practice I have.

    Bullying Story
    • When I was a kid, I was bullied some. I hit my growth spurt late. There were people that just picked on me based on my size.
    • I don't know how mindfulness would have made a difference. Maybe for the bully.
    • At the time it was painful but being a kid is painful, right. That's something I recognize more as I've gotten older.
    • As an adult, I realize that bullying is an inner turmoil. The way that we treat ourselves. It's really easy to give ourselves a hard time.
