My wife

Effect on Emotions

When it comes to dealing with people in crisis, it's pretty simple for me to come in as some distant professional, and sometimes that means to show no emotion.
My journey has taught me that sometimes that's the worst thing to show as a professional. Sometimes things just stink and there's nothing we can do. I still remember doing a death notification of a woman, her son was in college, an only child and her husband had died in the country that she had come from.
She was telling me about her son. All I could think of was, this poor woman. And I can remember tearing up and part of my journey is, big boys don't cry. My heart really ached for her. It allowed me to be with her. And it was a newspaper article, a couple of weeks later, that I cut out and gave to my wife because in the newspaper there was a thank you and it was written on the worst day of my life. I spent the early morning hours with an angel.
My wife didn't believe it was me at first, but when I connected who that person was with her on the worst day of her life. What did I learn about mindfulness and about being present, about not being cognitive but not being a jellyfish just to own what I'm really experiencing and then addressing my mindset to say, I can't fix this, so I am going to be with her and just hear her stories.
This is where mindfulness can be a very subjective definition. For me, mindfulness allows me to be present in that moment with that mindset that says, what is the best thing that I can do right now to help.

Thoughts on Breathing

Here's where my dark humour gets me into problems. Do not start smoking. However, I teach deep breathing from the smoking perspective because smokers do three things that we have to learn: 1. they take a break, 2. they are outside with social support, and 3. they're doing deep breathing exercises.
A smoker who might be really stressed as they are exhaling will blow rings. That even slows the exhale down more. The smoke break principle is the triangle model: inhale for 5, hold for 5, exhale for 5.

Bullying Story

I sucked my thumb till I was seventeen. I quit during the summer when I was a junior forest ranger up in northern Ontario. I was bullied for sucking my thumb to the point where the school would call my parents and say that if I didn't stop sucking my thumb, I would be bullied more.
Having sucked my thumb for that long, I believe that it prepared me to deal with opposition in a way that doesn't always beat me down.

My therapist

Effect on Emotions

Now when I feel something, I name it; anxiety, sadness, anger, and there's a buffer, like a boundary, that has created a veil. It's there, but I'm not engaged in it.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing is my anchor. Breathing is my mindful process that I pay attention to. When I'm out and about in my life I notice that I'm in my head and there's lots of thoughts and I also notice that I'm holding my breath.
Then I use a deep breath to bring myself back around to the present moment.

Bullying Story

I was bullied in Primary School. I was fat and and I had pimples and my surname back then was Boyle, so it was Penny Boyle.
I was called horrible names and a few years later I developed anorexia which is a very common pattern. I was very shy and withdrawn and mindfulness has really helped my self-confidence.
I was aware back then of what we called the observer so there was a part of me that could observe what I was doing but I didn't know what to do with that.
If I'd had mindfulness back then, I think I would have related to my emotions and thoughts in a different way rather than using the repression of food to have that emotional control over my life and it would have helped with my self-esteem too.

What Are You Focused On?

One thing I've chosen to focus on is my health. When I get into something, I get into it.
I'm working with an energy healer who's got me running in my underwear, in the snow, barefoot. He says, do 72 steps in the snow, barefoot and it will help your energy.
I'm having cold showers each day. I'm doing exercises snacks and after this interview I'll go on the chin-up bar and do some pull-ups just for a minute. That's one example of focus, and it feels good to me.

What Anger Are You Holding?

I don't identify it as anger, but I think almost all of us have some. For me it occurs as frustration. I've been living with anxiety and depression for twenty years. I had some trauma as a kid which apparently is still impacting me.
After twelve years ago I started feeling tired quite often and had some trouble sleeping. I've tried so many different things to work on my energy and it's working to the point that I can sit here with you and it feels good right now.
About three o'clock this afternoon I'll probably do a meditation and then hopefully I can go out and be with friends, but sometimes I can't. I would think that after fifteen years of working on this, I would have power over it.

Bullying Story

After high school, and when I discovered personal growth, and I discovered communication, and I discovered tough conversations, my coach kept encouraging me to clean up my past and make lists of people that I resented and that I was holding anger against.
So I would make the lists and then my coach said, now you have to call them. Through good coaching I managed to find my way to call a guy that I used to like and we were friends, but he would bully me. He would make fun of me in class and he would put me down and get the other kids riled up against me.
I didn't want to call him because I thought he would think I was an idiot. My coach said, start with that. And so I called him and said, I was afraid to call you because I was afraid you would think I was an idiot.
I told him, I felt pushed around and bullied and belittled by you at school and I've been holding onto that for twenty years. I just wanted to let you know.
He said, what can I say or do now to help us move forward? I couldn't believe that this guy I thought was such a jerk, could say something like that.

Louise Hay

Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness allows me to now give myself permission to feel my emotions. I don't fear them, I feel them. And I let them pass through. And I have learned to give myself that space and that grace to not always have to feel wonderful. Perfection is only a perception and it's usually not rooted in reality.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathwork grounds us. I believe that it's virtually impossible to be truly mindful without being grounded.
Proper breathwork, conscious deep breathing, also activates the parasympathetic part of our brains which is part of our central nervous system.
It regulates so many functions of our body and when we're in the parasympathetic state, also known as rest and digest, we are doing just that. Our bodies are in the flow.

Bullying Story

I bullied myself for so many years. I belittled my needs. I bullied myself into believing that I wasn't enough as I was.
I bullied myself in such a way that belittled my needs for food and proper nourishment. I thought that I could buy my ‘enough', by denying myself.
That for me was a form of bullying and self-betrayal. It wasn't until I went through that dark period that brought me to this period of light and self-discovery did I realize that until I found my enough and reclaimed it.
As I said in the book, the freshly baked brownie, the glass or two of wine, the new pair of shoes, was never going to do it.
What I needed to do was to dig deep and find what I like to refer to as my sacred space of solitude where I could dig deeper than myself.
For me that became my higher power, my deepest self where I knew I was safe.
And what does someone who is bullied want? They want to feel safe. They want to feel they belong. If you think about the bully, the bully is really a coward.
My bully was my eating disorder self who needed me to believe that I needed her or else I couldn't function. That is what a bully does.

Bullying Story

There's a story where Pemba's best friend, who is Indigenous, her mother said to me, nobody has ever truly seen my daughter as Pemba sees me daughter. That's a deeper level of mindfulness that they're cultivating [in Nepal].
In Nepal, we went to this one little monastery and Karma and Pemba approached the shrine and very intentionally put their hands to their forehead, to their lips, and then to their heart, while uttering a Tibetan mantra that means ‘homage to the Buddha', which they consider my highest self.
Homage to the teachings, wisdom that has come before, and homage to the community, the interconnectedness of all things. That's the level of mindfulness they're operating from.

The Buddha

Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness for me means that I don't need to run away from any emotion and that I don't need to react to any emotion. I can just accept whatever emotion is happening to me right now, with all the sensations in my body, pleasant or unpleasant and that there's still space for me to chose what I want to do with it. Do I just want to watch and let it pass? Do I want to fuel it to attention and then increase it if it's a positive emotion? Do I want to process it so that it kind of disappears. Mindfulness gives me these options.

Thoughts on Breathing

My style of meditation is not about breathing. I've tried breathing styles in the past and they were not the best ones for me.
Having said that, breathing is an important element of my mindfulness practice throughout the day.
I notice that when I am eating, I try to pay attention to my breathing. When I breathe more deeply and slowly while I eat, I chew better and I feel that digestion happens easier after that for some reason.
When I'm working, I may be answering emails or something and from time to time I remember to breathe deeply and slowly and the more I do that throughout the day, the less tired I feel at the end of the day.

Max Champie of Live Longer Labs

Effect on Emotions

Mindfulness has affected my emotions very positively because in my younger years I had a temper that was one of the tops in the universe and when I lost it, it was like a train wreck.
The train was off the track and there was nothing you could do to bring it back.
Being mindful has actually helped me to contain, corral, and not be a victim of my own anger and temper since I've aged.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing is how I center myself. I swim a lot and breath control is a very big part of swimming. A deep breath will allow your gases to exchange.
I can actually feel the increased circulation in my body as I take a big, deep breath and hold it in for a second or two, or five or ten or even thirty. I can feel my body getting invigorated because I've given it the opportunity for that very efficient gas exchange.
So breathing is a huge part of how I can improve my physiology on a second to second basis.

Mother Theresa

Effect on Emotions

I've loved the idea of controlling emotions. Some you can't. If you have a child who's ill, I don't know what to do about that. But of ordinary garden variety things, I think it's a question of will. I think, do I let that get to me? Then I think, that's their problem.

Thoughts on Breathing

Breathing I consider so important that I've been taking lessons with a voice coach about deep breathing.
When things are really tough, if you can take a deep breath, (My breath is purple in my imagination), and you breathe it out, it takes away tension and other stuff.

Effect on Emotions

I think I used to be so jammed up emotionally and cut off. Now I can be with my sadness, my anger, my rage, and my fear; and breathe into it and not run from it. It's incredibly empowering to welcome whatever's arising.

Thoughts on Breathing

I didn't learn much about breathing until I started to learn to meditate. Then I learned that there are all kinds of ways to breathe and breathe differently; breathe through the body, breathe through the nose, breathe through the mouth, hold my breathe, exhale longer.
I'm still learning, I'm still on that journey. I think how we breathe has a big impact on our life.

Bullying Story

I was bullied and I, in turn, bullied some people. In every story, mindfulness would have made a difference. In Middle School I bumped into some big football player and knocked over his chocolate milk and he grabbed me by the neck and held me up.
I was this little scrawny kid and I hadn't gone through puberty yet. I was terrified and I ran off. I felt so ashamed and embarrassed because it was in front of everybody at lunch.
[With mindfulness] I probably would have still run off because that was an appropriate thing to do. Had I just rounded the corner and just sat down outside and just knew to breathe, and cry and be with myself, and even better, have some adult or older kid who would have been able to hold space for me and breathe with me and just hang out while I just moved through the trauma.
That would have made a massive difference.

Bullying Story

One of my first bullying events was when I was about 6 years old and it was through a teacher at school. Imagine a classroom of 20 children and the energy of that room is green, green being positive.
So you're 6 years old and you're in this room playing and you're talking about the Simpsons. Then a teacher who is very angry, comes into the room and says, ‘wipe that smile off your face, Lovell'.
He shames me in front of the other kids at a key developmental age. This happened multiple times. I am now creating a story that says, I'm not good enough, what's wrong with you, you're bad.
When it comes to your present life, that interruption of energy from green to red, when I'm being shamed by the teacher, it's called hyper arousal. It's that hyper arousal that sends you into fight or flight.
If that doesn't get resolved, you will continue to live a life where, when I'm 13 years old and I'm in a shower room being bullied by a rugby kid, now based on the earlier event, do I now stand up to the bully in the shower room, or do I cower? I cower.
