Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has made a night-and-day difference in how I deal with my emotions. Understanding that if I can sit with my emotions, understand them, accept them, and process them, although painful today, prevents my triggers from the future. You can get to a really, really happy place when you've taken the time to process those. Thoughts on Breathing Every course that we do starts with breathing. When you find gratitude for having your breath, I think the world changes for every human. I use breathing techniques with my boxing team every day. Suggested Resources Book: Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson App: www.Udemy.com App: www.choosemuse.com Bullying Story I've been on both sides of that bully fence. I had a really challenging time in my youth. My first moment of mindfulness was probably when I was 7 or 8 years old. I didn't have the mindfulness I needed at the moment, and I became a very violent young person. Someone was calling me a name, and I got very angry. This was my first time in court-ordered therapy. I attacked somebody for calling me a name. At that moment I was living a life of looking up to my peers. I look at that moment in my life very frequently about how I reacted and what I did. It was the first time I went to therapy.

0:00.0	Mindfulness mode, episode 1012. Living a happy life is something that I didn't think I would ever have.
0:08.8	Hey, Mindful Tribe. Welcome back to the show. Today, we are talking with a dynamic man who is an accomplished,
0:17.9	well, he's accomplished when it comes to IT. He's done all sorts of things in that
0:23.7	area. He's an accomplished writer. And I say that because he has a new book that is called
0:29.9	Reclaim Sobriety. And we're going to be talking about that. Today I'm here with Ken Cox. Hey, Ken,
0:36.3	are you in mindfulness mode today? Not as much as I would like to be, but I'm here with Ken Cox. Hey Ken, are you in mindfulness mode today?
0:38.6	Not as much as I would like to be, but I'm definitely moving that direction for the day.
0:44.4	Yeah. So Ken, what does mindfulness mean to you?
0:49.7	It means a lot, right? And I can unpack that for, for hours on end, probably.
0:57.1	But to summarize it, it means intent, having an intent for my life, understanding that
1:04.7	that this is my life, it was gifted to me. It's a rarity. I know that we have eight billion
1:12.7	people on our planet, but when you look at the whole universe, you know, we're wildly lucky to even
1:19.3	have this opportunity to live these lives. And for me, it was understanding that life is not a
1:27.4	punishment, that it's a gift.
1:29.3	And living life that way with an intention on what do I want out of life and how am I going to go get it,
1:35.3	instead of just kind of marandering through life.
1:39.3	Yeah, interesting.
1:41.3	So you've got a podcast called Clicks and Bricks, and that's on YouTube.
1:45.7	I've seen that and listened to some of your episodes. But tell me, how did you come to the point of
1:51.8	writing a book called Reclaim Sobriety? Okay. So I've been working on this particular book for a very long time.
2:04.2	I guess now about 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with liver disease.
2:08.5	Okay.
