Effect on Emotions Mind or a thought in motion, (thought and feeling) are inextricably linked. My bias is that thought occurs first, although we may not see it, or be aware of it. So I have learned that when I'm in a particular mood, whether elevated or deflated, if I check in as to what the last thought I had, I can find the thought that set up the feeling. Now the thing is, once you have the feeling, that feeling then will summon up more similar thoughts, which is why we tend to cycle up or down. But there are different words and labels that we put to describe human experience. So we think of thought being from the neck up. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing is not sufficiently part of my mindful practices. It's something I need to work on. I tend to reside in my spirit and in my mind. My work is to develop more awareness in my body and to be more conscious and mindful of my breathing. So to the point of embracing vulnerability and sharing your truth. That's work I still need to do Suggested Resources Book: Read Alfred North Whitehead, the philosopher, 19th century. Also read author, David Bohm. Book: The Possibility Principle: How Quantum Physics Can Improve the Way You Think, Live, and Love by Mel Schwartz App: Spotify Bullying Story Bullying, especially emotional and verbal, often stems from deeper issues of self-worth. In therapy, cases arise where individuals, including men in marriages, tolerate bullying due to low self-esteem. The key question is: Why do I endure this? It ties back to personal narratives formed in childhood—fear of judgment, shame, or disappointing others. True self-esteem isn’t about external validation but embracing vulnerability and authenticity. Many mistake "acting strong" for strength, but real confidence comes from self-acceptance. Seeking approval excessively weakens one's core identity, making them more susceptible to manipulation and bullying.

0:00.0	Mindfulness mode. There is meaning. There is purpose. I matter and I count.
0:08.2	Hey, Mindful Tribe. I'm here today with a psychotherapist, marriage counselor, corporate leadership
0:15.2	consultant, and he's the author of the book called The Possibility Principle, which is a book that I really enjoyed.
0:23.3	I'm here today with Mel Schwartz. Hey, Mel, are you in mindfulness mode today?
0:28.2	I would certainly hope so, Bruce. You know, mindfulness or any word, I think, always requires shared meaning.
0:37.1	I've learned that a word or an expression means one thing to use, something different to me,
0:42.5	and a difference to a third person.
0:44.9	So I'm sure that mindfulness conjures somewhat different images for each of us.
0:50.4	So Mel, what does mindfulness mean to you?
0:53.6	For me, mindfulness, as I describe a great length in my book, requires my ability to see my thought.
1:04.1	If I can see my thought, I don't need to become my thought.
1:09.1	In my work as a psychotherapist, marriage counselor, communications consultant, I find that often
1:16.6	people aren't aware of their thought, and worse still, they accept their thought as being
1:22.6	the truth of what their thought is telling them.
1:25.6	And then over a lifetime, we become imprisoned.
1:29.3	We have certain core beliefs about ourselves, and out of those beliefs come millions of thoughts.
1:35.3	Out of those beliefs come millions of thoughts.
1:38.3	Thoughts, we're not aware that we're having those thoughts, and we become those thoughts.
1:43.3	So that's the imprisonment. So the work I've developed is to teach people to see the thought.
1:48.0	It's like a learned muscle memory.
1:50.0	When we can see the thought, we're actually thinking.
1:55.0	I derive a difference between having thoughts, noticing I'm having thoughts, and thinking.
