• I think it's just having the power to self-regulate, never let yourself get too high or too low. I would just say, keep your emotions in check. I was talking earlier about being a father and self -regulating when he's screaming and everything like that. It goes the same way with your personal and professional career. You just have to level yourself out so that you can produce. Intermittent Fasting

• I do think it's important. Where it's most important to me is in my workouts, and I like to do yoga, to make sure I maintain my flexibility and breathing is huge for that. Those two things alone especially have shown me the power of inhaling and exhaling and the fact that most of us, because we don't think about our breathing, are probably breathing wrong.

• It's easy for me to allow my anxieties and my insecurities to paralyze me. So coming out of that; focusing on yoga, breathing, and becoming more centered is really life-changing.

• I enjoy breathing techniques. Pranayama things that you learn in Yoga. There's the Dutch guy, Wim Hof, who does breathing techniques, and they're fascinating, and his whole life meeting and learning. What that practice is about is it's very expansive and it can shift your mood in a very short period of time, and that can be essential to be able to overcome certain things.  Writer's Mindfulness

• Sadhguru describes anger and he holds up a cup. He says anger is like drinking from a cup of poison and expecting the other person to die you are angry. And so why would you cause chemical changes in your physical body that causes diseases that are caused by the toxic release of chemicals because of the anger? Why would you do that?

• Breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system, you do not have to think about breathing when you're speaking. It does it automatically. But the point being is that the amount of oxygen you take in when you don't think about breathing is about a little over a liter, of the six-liter capacity.

• Nothing is either right or wrong. But thinking makes itself so. You shouldn't be bullied, bullying is wrong. So in the reality in which you live, your ego is now engaged in there's something happening in your movie right now of this situation or this person what they're doing, and you're labeling it bullying, and so and so you're not present in the moment, you're dealing with a bully at the moment not objectively, logically right now, that's a bully, and so and so until you, until you're able to be more relaxed with the energy that's around the Bolinas.

• I learned a technique called neuro-emotional technique, which I became certified in, and then if I am not processing an emotion, I'm a somatic processor. So my body lets me know, I'll either belch or I usually will get a headache, and then I will work through what was it and it's usually one that's like shame, a difficult one that I don't want to feel. When it's triggering something from the past I go back and figure out what that is.

• Breathing will keep you alive. I woke up from one operation and they told me right before it was an emergency one, or they had to cut me all the way open and they said you will probably wake up with a ventilator.

• I take conscious breaths throughout the day. And I find that that helps me be less absent-minded. And it helps me be more receptive to human experiences to trigger ideas. So yeah, one breath at a time throughout the day, especially when those difficult triggers come up. The Party Scientist

• Bullying happens during adulthood as well. When I was in high school, I was really short. I was an excluded kid and it was not a safe environment to be yourself. That's what blows my mind when our brains are in critical development. That's when the quality of our relationships and friendships and connections with others are the least secure.

How To Discover Your Career Purpose; Sean Sessel

My topic for today is about dogs, Mindful Tribe. I look forward to sharing with you, the ‘5 Ways A Dog Will Help You De-Stress'. I can tell you that my dogs in the past have helped me de-stress; Charlie, and Sadie were both amazing pets.

Walking provides great cardio and is so healthy for us in many way. It's especially good as we get older, but it's excellent exercise for anyone of any age. Walking is great for our mental health and is terrific for our physical health and coordination. so

BOOK: A Walking Life by Antonia Malchik – www.MindfulnessMode.com.com/435 The episode is called “Reclaim Your Health and Freedom”. so

Sadie and Charlie both loved being petted, and brushed; they never seemed to get tired of it. so

I dedicated this episode to my friend Lindsay. She has two dogs, Ashkee and Willow and they have been a gift in her life.  She's told me lots of different stories about Ashkee and Willow and I've told her stories about Sadie and Charlie. That's only a small example, if you're a dog owner, I'm sure you can think of many times when you've met people and the topic of your dogs have come up. Before long, you are connecting with that other person as a result of your connection to dogs. so

Having a dog can help with our emotions. This is a topic we talk about a lot on Mindfulness Mode. Lots of times we don't stop and consider our emotions enough, and we sometimes tend to push our emotions down and not allow ourselves to be aware of our emotions. If you feel angry, allow yourself to feel angry, and the same is true for grief and sadness. Avoid pushing your emotions away. so

Having a dog can just really help you to relax and settle into your own space in the world. If you've been listening to Mindfulness Mode for a while, you know that we often talk about breathing. Sit with your dog and just take some deep breaths and relax and allow your time together to be a time of mindfulness. so

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, chronic stress can lead to health issues, including increased risk of depression and anxiety, and difficulties with learning. Stress can also negatively affect memory, concentration, and your ability to sleep easily and deeply. Stress can lower your immune system function. All of this stress can make it more challenging to be calm and focused and in the present moment. Dogs can help us connect with and feel our emotions more fully. so

If you own a dog you will probably feel a deep connection to your pet. If you're feeling down and discouraged, or if you're feeling excited they can read your emotions. Tuning into your dog and spending meaningful time together can help you connect more deeply to your emotions. Many of my friends who are dog owners have told me that when they spend time with their dog, they feel less anxiety and reduced tension. Spending time with your dog is a great way to unwind and let go of the day's frustrations.

Dr. Anne Gatty is an avid believer in the power of dogs to help us live mindful lives and even improve our leadership skills. I interviewed Dr. Gatty, on Episode 201. Check out the episode for interesting information about how dogs can improve our leadership skills.

• Being mindful has been very important, especially in situations of high stress. So if you have a stressful event anywhere, your first instinct is to scream and yell and carry on. But if you take a deep breath and view the situation in a different light, it changes your action plan, which changes your outcome.

• When you take a deep breath and count to ten, that's how long it should take you to breathe in and breathe out. It gives you space between you and what's happening and it also calms all the organs in your body and it brings your dopamine and your adrenaline down. When you do that, you can function better and make better executive decisions.

• Then they're not overpowering. I've, I've been able to observe them, not identify with them. When I identify with them. I feel like they overtake my whole experience. When I observe them, I realize that there's a witness observing my emotions. And because there's a witness observing them, I know that I am not them. So then I can shift and change them.

• Breathwork is the ability of using your breath to release the addiction to the cognitive mind, the monkey mind, the reptilian brain so that we can drop deeper into our bodies and actually use the energy of our heart to navigate the world, rather than the ego and the survival brain.

• The huge problem is social media because when guys start looking at Instagram, all these girls try to get more likes by showing themselves on Instagram, and this becomes a huge trigger.

• We certainly need to be in touch with our emotions through meditation and mindfulness. We can be more in touch with our true emotions and I think that we can also build better relationships with other people through being mindful. It creates a more healthy individual.

• One of the similarities is spending all your mental energy on your addiction or thinking about, let's say, p*&n or food or fighting your thoughts. It just doesn't leave any headspace for you to think about what the real problem is.

• The most common example is that people get exposed to this habit very early on. Their brothers were watching it, or their parents were watching it, they saw it and they got hooked. And this is definitely a psychological trauma because a six-year-old is not supposed to see things like this.

• Going back to my original definition of mindfulness, self-awareness. A lot of times when I can just say, Oh, I'm angry, what am I angry about? Alright, let me sit with this for a minute. It's easier to process emotions when you can be fully aware of what they are, and where they're coming from. Knowing that sometimes not about what it's about, and finding the actual original source of those emotions. Everyday Crystal Healing

• I think breathing is such an important aspect of it. For me, it's the best way to go from the sympathetic, nervous response to the parasympathetic nervous response going from flight or fight or flight is to rest and digest and bring yourself internally when you're meditating. Are you doing yoga or just sitting at your desk, focusing on your breath and getting rid of all the noise? This brings you back to yourself and the power of everyday crystal healing.
