Contact Info Website: www.CalvinWayman.com Calvin's Book - Fish Out of Water www.CalvinWayman.com/book Most Influential Person Eckhart Tolle (Author of The Power of Now) Effect on Emotions I just read something called 'The Cowboy Syndrome'. It's something in the U.S. where we've been taught, as men, to not express our emotions. Just to be strong and resolute. I think I grew up in that type of environment, being here in the U.S. Now I realize it's okay, it's not harming your masculinity, but it's actually helping it. As Brene Brown might say, vulnerability is a good thing. Thoughts on Breathing That is where the steadying comes in for me because it's such a simple thing and if you can keep your focus on the breath, then you chase less rabbits. You just feel the breath and notice it and it's keeping you focused. That's the anchor that gets me there. Suggested Resources Book: The Mindful Brain by Daniel J.
