Some you can't. If you have a child who's ill, I don't know what to do about that. But of ordinary garden variety things, I think it's a question of will. I think, do I let that get to me? Then I think, that's their problem. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing I consider so important that I've been taking lessons with a voice coach about deep breathing. When things are really tough, if you can take a deep breath, (My breath is purple in my imagination), and you breathe it out, it takes away tension and other stuff. Suggested Resources Book: Ask by Mark Victor Hansen and Crystal Dwyer Hansen App: Insight Timer Bullying Story I have been in many jobs during my lifetime that have been dominated by men. You can imagine that a lot of bullying came my way, so how did I handle it? Here's where it gets a little bit off-beat. If you criticized me in some way and it's going to make me better, I embrace it, I love it, I'll act on it. If you're just bullying me or if you're being critical because you think you can get away with it, you don't exist for me. You just don't exist. I'm not going to let you get under my skin.
