Effect On Emotions










I've learned not to react impulsively, like that time when I was picking up my tired child from school. Initially frustrated, I realized his tears were fatigue, not disobedience.
That experience shifted my perspective, making me more empathetic. Now, in situations, even on the road, I pause before reacting.
I consider the unknowns in people's lives—maybe a rough day or personal struggles. Unless it's unsafe, I avoid honking or road rage. Understanding that most are just trying to navigate their own challenges, I drive calmly, prioritizing safety over frustration.
It's about seeing beyond the surface and acknowledging everyone's unseen battles.











Thoughts On Breathing
Exploring various breathwork sessions, I stumbled into an incredible journey. Witnessing people release trauma through breath amazed me. Encouraging others to dive in, I stress the need for skilled facilitators, not just online tutorials.
While I've tried multiple sessions and even courses, I don't feel compelled; it's about aligning with my needs.
Conscious breathing helps realign when feeling off. I've ventured into ice baths, inspired by experiences in Poland. From meeting Wim Hof to accidental swimsuit mishaps in freezing temperatures, the rush and energy from these experiences are unmatched.
Despite the initial chill, the exhilaration afterward is worth every shiver, encouraging everyone to give it a try.







 






Bullying Story


















Growing up small in a tough neighborhood, I faced relentless bullying. Boxing helped, but I ended up becoming a bully myself at school.
It felt like fighting back against the torment. Yet, even as I faced bullying, I learned to fight back, realizing that not backing down deterred some attackers.
In one instance, eight guys set the papers I was about to deliver on fire, leading me to study martial arts. Through six years of practice, I grasped mindfulness, avoiding fights despite my ability. Confidence became my shield. I learned to defuse conflicts, standing my ground without aggression.
It changed me, sparing others the pain I once felt and rejecting the cycle of bullying I'd briefly fallen into.
