- The key for me, and what I tried to teach is for people to slow their life down; you're not going to be mindful, you're not going to be conscious.
- If you're going 100 miles an hour, because your mind is going to be all over the place, you need to slow down first. And then second, be willing to put the time in because mindfulness demands a slower pace and commitment to learning over time.
- I use it as a preparation for meditation. Breathing puts you in the moment because you got to focus on your breathing. So the one thing people don't think about is that they think I gotta go slow. And there you are, there's that slow and my mind has to work on this. Because all of it ties in together.
- It doesn't matter what breathing exercises; you can go online and find good breathing exercises, and they're all good. Essentially, what it means is slow and keep your mind focused on the in and out of your breathing. You are now in a position of mindfulness of consciousness in terms of what you're doing.
- What happens is that when you're bullied for a while, you begin to take that person on and you begin to act as a victim, not just with that bully, but everywhere.
- It's one of the reasons why parents take a while to identify this because the kids come home, and then they're different and they're angry, or they're reacting or they're crying or they're isolating, and they don't understand that that's dictum stuff.
- I tell people, if the bully is bullying, and you go and hit the bully, you did something, but when you don't, you internalize all those features, and you bring him right into your heart and into your mind. Now you start being that and it really affects the way that kids and even adults move forward. Because it's not just bullying in school, it's bullying in the workplace. It's social bullying, it's everywhere. It's online
