He had a procedure, and had a massive stroke. I learned what dementia was. It wasn't necessary; he didn't need it. I feel bad to this day that I didn't do more for him earlier on. He said, 'don't let this happen to others'. Effect on Emotions Mindfulness is calming on my emotions. It feels like love and stability in my life when I'm more mindful. When I'm not, I tend to be more anxious and depressed. I'd much rather feel loved and focused than anxious and depressed. That's a lack of mindfulness, is anxiety. Thoughts on Breathing I like taking a deep breath and filling myself with spirit. I even like to, after I stretch and workout in the morning, I like to take a deep breath. I feel like green energy pours into my body when I'm taking a deep breath. When I blow out, I'm just blowing out tension. I use my breath to help me in a kind of meditative, processing way of being more calm and focused. Breath to me is like breathing in spirit.

I got beaten up. I got kicked around. It was not pleasant. I can completely sympathize with anyone who has been bullied before. Part of it was just being susceptible. I wasn't being mindful; I wasn't being confident. It wasn't moving with purpose. Predators picked on me.
