    • Effect on Emotions
      • Mindfulness helps me stay calm and centered.
      • Our minds can become a “blender drink” of thoughts—spinning with urgency and anxiety.
      • Mindfulness slows that chaos, softens the noise, and lets me choose peace throughout the day.
      • Thoughts on Breathing
        • I don't know of anything that changes your state faster than changing your breathing. 
        • Holding my breath, my diaphragm's up in my rib cage here. How do I just take a breath? I mindfully breathe through my nose, out through my mouth, even just a few breaths and let my diaphragm and my whole abdomen drop.
        • Anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute, I can access calmness.
        • Suggested Resources
          • Book: Any book by Pema Chodron, such as - The Compassion Book: Teachings For Awakening The Heart
          • App: N/A
          • Bullying Story
            • As a kid, I was sensitive and often picked on. My dad once hid in the bushes to scare off my bullies—after that, we oddly became friends.
            • At seventeen, I started learning Kung Fu, mainly for self-defense, but what I really gained was mindfulness—staying calm and aware under pressure.
            • During sparring, I learned to stay centered, what I call the “eye of the hurricane,” a practice that’s guided me ever since.
