If I feel emotion coming with speed, I'm able to just dial it back a bit. So the motions are either slower to come or I'm actually faster to recover. Thoughts on Breathing I actually want to be more intentional about breathing. I think that, maybe through instinct or maybe through what I've learned over the last five or 10 years, it definitely is a part of it. And I know every time I teach, I tend to model breathing as a means to sort of settle the mind, settle the body. I think it's ridiculously powerful, breathing. And so I want to be even more intentional with it. Suggested Resources Book: The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer App: Happify One Thing You Want To Change In Your Life I believe that we are hardwired for human connection and I don't believe that we're meant to walk through the world alone. I think for me personally, if I could make one change, it would be to have that one life partner to share life with. So I'm a big believer in the idea that if I can't be happy alone, I can't be happy with somebody. But if I'm happy now and I think that my life could be richer and more full if I had that life partner, then I would say that's the biggest change I would want.

0:27.7	Drinking a tea in honor of my dad, and he used to like it with, he put hot water in the cup,
0:33.7	and he just sort of dipped the tea bag in for a second and take it out. And I always thought,
0:39.3	whoa, it's hard even worth putting a tea bag in because, man, that's not much tea flavoring.
0:45.6	But, you know, since he died, I've been doing that a few times, just kind of remembering him
0:52.0	and how he did things. And I think it kind of is sort of
