Dana Sardano is an artist who fully embraces her artist’s life to model for her daughters the importance of listening to your soul’s purpose by following your bliss. In January 2015, Dana picked up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood. That was the catalyst for a major shift in her career in June 2017. She has since opened Ubuntu Fish Gallery in Stuart, Florida, co-founded Phenom Publishing and FindUniquelyU.com, and has authored several books for both adults and children, never for a second regretting her decision to take that leap of faith.

Effect on Emotions It's everything. The thing about mindfulness is it's quick in 10 commandments, I think it's the second recommendation I shall not become entrenched in my emotions. We get all sorts of entrenched in our emotions. Our emotions are just a guide to show us what's good for us and what's not. So if we feel yucky, then don't do that. And if we feel good, do more of that. And so if we're mindful of our emotions, then we can regulate them. Thoughts on Breathing I have truly learned to take a breath. I've learned mindfulness I've learned to become mindful of what I hold my breath. When I'm tense. I've learned to become mindful of when I'm in pain or worried to breathe through it. When you see Lamaze, people have given birth, and they're teaching them how to breathe. I remember, as a young woman, I was like, That's stupid. But I've come to realize that the breath is when you focus on the breath, it really you could handle anything. So for me, just the act of when I feel myself get tense to take a breath, or before I make a rash decision to take a breath.

But the reality is, every single one of us the bullies in the non-bullies, just wants our needs to be met.
