Most Influential PersonTara BrachEffect on EmotionsI
think it's helped me with that roller coaster that we mentioned. It's
helped me create less high highs and less low lows, and have them be not
so dependent on outside circumstances. Have me be the agent of how
those emotions play out. For example, in the past, I would get really
excited if I got a new great client and really bummed out if someone
said no, but now there's no attachment, emotionally, to that process.
I'm good ether way emotionally. There's maybe things strategically that I
can change or improve, but I think that's been one of the biggest ways,
helping me have not such big fluctuations in them.Thoughts on BreathingI
really do mindful meditation, so it's all focused on the breathing. I
don't do mantra based stuff so I think it's all through breath. To me,
breathing is huge, breathing is the center of everything.Suggested ResourcesBook: Radical Acceptance by Tara BrachBook: Don't Let the Fear Win by Greg FaxonApp: Insight TimerAdvice for Newbie
I
would say, to do the 60 second thing for a week. Set a really low bar
for yourself. 60 seconds, focus on your breathing, count your breath.
It's like with habit formation, people talk about it, if you want to
form a new flossing habit, just floss your front teeth for a week.
That's so easy, you have to do it.  Then eventually you feel, that's
kind of silly, I need to floss more than that and so you've do it on
your own when you have those quick wins. I would say commit to a week of
60 second breathing.
