Effect on Emotions

• Mindfulness has helped stabilize my emotions and increased my awareness.
• Many doctors focus only on delivering information, not on how their words affect patients. Practicing mindfulness makes me more conscious of my thoughts, words, and reactions, creating emotional steadiness.
• We shouldn’t ignore emotions; instead, we should recognize them, let them pass through, and understand why they arise so we can respond better next time.

Thoughts on Breathing

• Mindfulness depends on breathing. When I taught meditation, breathwork was always the first step.
• Repeated practice trains the brain and reinforces intention.
• I used to breathe for five to ten minutes to calm my mind, but with consistency, it took less time.
• Now I can enter a meditative state in just two breaths.

Bullying Story

• Bullying has been part of my life from childhood to age seventy-one. Born in a German refugee camp to Ukrainian parents, we were bullied for our language and later in Canada for being “DPs”—displaced persons.
• I was teased for wearing glasses and, being small, often stayed quiet to protect myself.
• Even in corporate medicine, bullying persisted; hierarchy and status create constant judgment among doctors.
• Over time I learned to cope by knowing who I am and refusing to absorb others’ problems.
• Bullying is everywhere, and we must learn to face those who try to impose themselves on us. That’s simply life.
