- Mindfulness lets me take a step back from my emotions. I can take a beat, take a breath, and see what's arising.
- Rather than just becoming reactive, it gives me that pause to say where is that coming from.
- I'm not always perfect at it, and I don't think humans can be perfect at it, but mindfulness helps me not to become overwhelmed by my emotions. It gives me a tool to work with them.
- I have a breath practice. I like to start my day by focusing on my breathing, which clears my mind. It helps me to be very present and to ground me.
- Even if you only have 5 minutes, if you can take that 5 minutes and focus on your breath, you can have a better day.
- I've experienced bullying quite a lot. I came to identify it. I think the more people practice compassion and mindfulness, the less bullying there will be.
- Bullies have a wound that they haven't addressed. The thing about a bully is that they are only powerful if they are drawing power from bullying.
