    Effect on Emotions
    • It has enhanced my gratitude, that is the best way of putting it.  It has enhanced how much and what I can be grateful for.
    Thoughts on Breathing
    • I try to take nice full breaths while I am meditating and on days where I am lethargic. I try to remind myself to take long deep breaths just to keep the lungs active and the blood flowing. I have personally noticed the connection between being still with not a lot of movements and short, shallow breaths and my mood being impacted by that.

  • Advice for Newbie

    The best advice I ever received was from Tim Ferris: mindfulness is not about trying to find some epiphany. I think once you realize that meditation and mindfulness isn't the goal of those two things, that experiencing mindfulness is much easier.
