Effect on Emotions

When I was in my twenties, my worst problems were my emotions. If I would date somebody and break up with them, I would suffer for at least six months. If I loved the person, I would suffer for a year or two years.

When I started working with my higher self, it put me in that place of asking, why am I doing this to myself; why am I not being mindful about myself. Let go of these emotions.

My main focus when I was in my twenties was to really let go of my emotions. Every day at the end of the day I would do a nightly review. Why was I emotional? Who made me emotional? Now I have my clients do nightly reviews.

Thoughts on Breathing

I do a lot of exercise. I've done the happy yoga which is a physical yoga. They really talk a lot about breathing.

I do pilates and my pilates teacher talks a lot about breathing.

I'm going to a physical therapist now for some of my arthritis and she gives me all kinds of breathing exercises.

Breathing is very much a part of my exercise routine.

Bullying Story

I was an art director in the 1960's and there were very few art directors at that time who were women.

Companies told me at the time that they never hire women. In my mid twenties I finally managed to get an art director's job.

I had to work with an account exec who was an older man in his late fifties. He said he would not work with a woman. The head of the agency told him he had to work with me.

The first two or three weeks he was terrible to me. He ordered me around and made me do things I didn't want to do.

After that I told him, you're not my boss, you're my co-worker and you don't tell me what to do in this job.

Then I started producing work and he liked my work. From then on we were very good friends. It was rough.
