When you're not mindful, you can't fully accept what's happening. Without acceptance, you're resisting the situation. Resisting an emotion only amplifies it by giving it more attention, which in turn strengthens the emotion. Acceptance, however, helps you navigate through it instead of fueling it further. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing is incredibly powerful. I view it as a way to absorb energy from the universe. Deep breathing is especially helpful, and whenever I feel overwhelmed, I focus on my breath. This practice, like the Wim Hof method, helps me regain calm and composure, especially when I need to refocus.

They may have challenging family circumstances, or maybe something traumatic happened, like losing a parent. You just never know what someone is going through. Approaching it with empathy might melt the ice around the bully’s heart, and sometimes, it can even lead to unexpected friendship. Of course, that’s much easier said than done.

awesome world we live in. I mean, whoa, wouldn't that be amazing? His present mantra we're going to be

he's up to. I'm here today with my guest Eric McHugh. Eric, are you in mindfulness mode today?

0:47.0

I try to be. I like to be as mindful as possible. You know, sometimes you slip in it out, but if

0:51.2

that's your base, you can always refer back to it. So the important thing is about being conscious about it.

0:55.8

Yeah, yeah, true. So what does mindfulness mean to you, Eric? When I think of mindfulness, I think of a two-way. So you're either mindful of yourself or you're mindful with others. When I think of mindfulness with others, I think of being empathetic. So it's like, can you put yourself in other person's shoes? which is also very practical because if you're empathetic, it makes you much more likely to work with someone and collaborate with them. So that's a win. And mindfulness with yourself is just like, am I conscious of what I've been doing? Why am I having these thoughts? These thoughts are my thoughts. Am I doing this mindfully or am I just repeating a habit on like autopilot mode or am I actually

1:29.0

doing this doesn't serve me if it doesn't serve me let it go. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's awesome. So how long

overall like five years or so when like I started the company.
