Effect on Emotions Mindfulness has helped me tremendously. I don't take things as personally and I certainly don't get caught up in them because I just remember that time passes and things change and I just have to be present with what is and I'll get through to the other side. Thoughts on Breathing Breathing is a huge part of my mindfulness practice. I am always breathing. Breath has helped me through the most intense panic attacks and periods in my life. Even before this show I took some time to just breathe and settle into the space.

When I was in Middle School,  I can remember being in situations that were hard or painful, and understanding that this is only a moment in time and that sometime I am going to be on the other side, so I can focus on, this is ending as it's happening. I feel like I took that with me through a lot of my life. So when it came to people who were cruel or unkind or teased or spread rumors, it's not that it didn't affect me, it certainly did, I was much younger and much less emotionally intelligent. I just had this knowing that this is not all there is. This moment, these people, this school, this neighborhood. I just was always aware this world is so big, even if I didn't quite know where I fit in it yet. I think that really helped me tremendously. I wish I would have had more mindfulness practices for sure around managing my emotions.
