Effect on Emotions
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.
Thoughts on Breathing
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

Bullying Story
When you are an adolescent in a position where you are less capable of standing up for yourself less confident. Growing up was challenging because I didn't feel that I had so many things going on in my personal life and in my family life that I couldn't share and that I didn't understand completely. Writer's Mindfulness
That made me different from the kids in my classroom and who I was growing up. So I wish that children could not let those self-defeating thoughts and those insecurities become their identity in a way.
Then influence how you view yourself and understand that the person that you are back then is not going to be the person that you are when you grow up and you're capable of developing new ways of thinking, your understanding of the world, and how people really view themselves and try to belittle others because they don't feel good about themselves. That's their only way of coping. Writers
