Effect on Emotions

I consciously take breaks, and I take mindful walks. I also practice meditation.
I allow myself just to take a pause and let myself feel the full range of emotions. If I'm angry or sad, I let myself feel it.
Once that emotion is out, I can continue being happy and productive throughout the day.

Thoughts on Breathing

People tell me to do it, but I don't use breathing [special breathing techniques] that much.
When I walk, my breathing auto adjusts to the level I need it to be.

Bullying Question

Regarding bullying, I think it has to do with a lack of self-awareness. When I was younger, I wasn't as self-aware as I am now.
I've had years of personal development. Maybe I wasn't always as empathetic. I see now that human connection is something that needs to be nurtured consciously.
It does matter how you communicate.
