- Mindfulness allows me to now give myself permission to feel my emotions. I don't fear them, I feel them. And I let them pass through. And I have learned to give myself that space and that grace to not always have to feel wonderful. Perfection is only a perception and it's usually not rooted in reality.
- Breathwork grounds us. I believe that it's virtually impossible to be truly mindful without being grounded.
- Proper breathwork, conscious deep breathing, also activates the parasympathetic part of our brains which is part of our central nervous system.
- It regulates so many functions of our body and when we're in the parasympathetic state, also known as rest and digest, we are doing just that. Our bodies are in the flow.

- I bullied myself for so many years. I belittled my needs. I bullied myself into believing that I wasn't enough as I was.
- I bullied myself in such a way that belittled my needs for food and proper nourishment. I thought that I could buy my ‘enough', by denying myself.
- That for me was a form of bullying and self-betrayal. It wasn't until I went through that dark period that brought me to this period of light and self-discovery did I realize that until I found my enough and reclaimed it.
- As I said in the book, the freshly baked brownie, the glass or two of wine, the new pair of shoes, was never going to do it.
- What I needed to do was to dig deep and find what I like to refer to as my sacred space of solitude where I could dig deeper than myself.
- For me that became my higher power, my deepest self where I knew I was safe.
- And what does someone who is bullied want? They want to feel safe. They want to feel they belong. If you think about the bully, the bully is really a coward.
- My bully was my eating disorder self who needed me to believe that I needed her or else I couldn't function. That is what a bully does.
