      • Effect on Emotions
      • I have been able to deal with my emotions differently as a result of my research. 
      • That started with The Gratitude Diaries because I realize that we can control the way we feel about things. Classically, we can't control the things that happen but we can control how we deal with them.
        • Thoughts on Breathing
        • I don't personally have a breath-work practice but I know it can help enormously. 
        • I was with some folks the other day who had two little kids, a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. The kids were running around and the parents stopped the children and ask them to breathe in 1,2,3 and breathe out 1,2,3. The kids had obviously done this before. The 4-year-old said, no Daddy, we breathe in for 4 counts.
