- Mindfulness helps me be aware of my emotions and feel my emotions.
- Somebody said to me once, feel the feel and then take the wheel. And mindfulness is when you take the wheel.
- Breathing is the first thing I stop when I get stressed out. Being aware of your breath and breathing and watching the changes that occur in your body when you take control of your breathing is absolutely the best.
- In my career as a marine biologist, I was fortunate to have supportive men, fellow students, and professors, especially during my education.
- However, I did experience bullying, which is still prevalent, particularly online. When I was younger, I wasn't aware of mindfulness, so my initial reaction was to respond immediately.
- Now, I've learned to step back and take a deep breath first. Mindfulness helps me recognize the energy directed at me and understand it often has nothing to do with me personally.
- By pausing and being mindful, I protect my integrity and defuse the situation, as the bully usually has their own issues.
- Mindfulness helps prevent a hasty response to bullying, and I try to apply this in my life. I'm not always perfect, but I strive to be better.
