Effect on Emotions
Mindfulness has allowed me to not villainize people, places, things, and ideas that shouldn't be villainized it's allowed me to pinball a thought around my brain and then let it land accurately in a constructive place, not a destructive one.

Thoughts on Breathing
I have been way more mindful of breathing, to the point where now I have mouth tape that I put over my mouth when I go to sleep because I'm trying to breathe more through my nose. And I occasionally snore, which my wife does not like. And I understand that.
When I'm speaking, I oftentimes don't take breaths for long periods of time. So being more mindful of that is powerful as well.

Bullying Story
I think I was a freshman in high school, and I got glasses and never had glasses before. The first day I ever had my glasses, I didn't know really even know what that meant. Yeah. And I think that's a situation; when you're that young, there isn't a lot of mindfulness. Honestly, you're kind of thinking of where I fit in in the pecking order of the school. And where's my ego?
I think mindfulness of the understanding that both sides I villainize that person, how dare you make fun of me? Why are you bullying me? When in reality, a more mindful approach that I might take now is to ask, what's going on with you that makes you feel like you need to lash out and try to hurt me?
