- Mindfulness gives you the sense that this too will pass. Just like thoughts, emotions come, you acknowledge them and then you let them go. It's only heavy if you keep carrying it.
- My husband has helped me with the breathing. He is a big James Nestor fan. I like box breathing. In for four, hold for four, out for four, hold.
- I find it incredibly calming in all kinds of scenarios.

- The mean girls in my neighborhood were bullying me, and I was in my '50s. You'd think it wouldn't bother me by that time, but it did.
- Mindfulness got me out of it. I felt almost shaky, which was not a thing for me. It was sitting and breathing that helped me.
- The concept of meditation and breathing really helped me calm down.
