Effect on Emotions
  • I see emotions as fuel, and by accepting them, I can redirect and take action. When you're not mindful, you can't fully accept what's happening.
  • Without acceptance, you're resisting the situation. Resisting an emotion only amplifies it by giving it more attention, which in turn strengthens the emotion.
  • Acceptance, however, helps you navigate through it instead of fueling it further.
    • Thoughts on Breathing
    • Breathing is incredibly powerful.
  • I view it as a way to absorb energy from the universe. Deep breathing is especially helpful, and whenever I feel overwhelmed, I focus on my breath.
  • This practice, like the Wim Hof method, helps me regain calm and composure, especially when I need to refocus.
    • Suggested Resources
    • Book: The Emerald Tablet of Hermes by Hermes Trismegistus
  • Book: A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
  • Book: Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland
  • App: n/a (avoid social media if you can)
    • Bullying Story
    • If someone is bullying you, it’s not excusable, but I try to see it from the perspective that they might be dealing with their own struggles. They may have challenging family circumstances, or maybe something traumatic happened, like losing a parent.
  • You just never know what someone is going through. Approaching it with empathy might melt the ice around the bully’s heart, and sometimes, it can even lead to unexpected friendship.
  • Of course, that’s much easier said than done.
