- My Husband
- Mindfulness is extremely important to help me not look back or too far ahead. It has really been life-changing just to have gratitude in the moment.
- People who are not grateful tend to count their disappointments more than their blessings. They are generally not happy people.
- I find that when people get anxious about something, they have more shallow breathing. Sometimes I have to remind myself to take a deep breath.
- What I have done with my clients and with myself sometimes is just to imagine as you breathe in, that an energy and life force goes through your whole body. I imagine it being a color. The color goes through the extremities.
- Then you breathe out and the color goes out to the air. That visual exercise helps me with my breathing.
- I was doing a webinar on communication skills in the workplace. I told the people in the webinar that assertive communication is using "I" statements. For example, I think, I feel, it's important to me.
- Aggressive communication is "you" statements. For example, you shouldn't be doing that and blaming. Also being not assertive is keeping things in. Then I did a role-play. I then did a survey of the listeners and everybody got it wrong.
- They did not realize that all the "you" statements were bullying behavior. Almost everybody identified it as assertive.
