Effect on Emotions

• Mindfulness sets my mindset for the day. It can either settle it, or by not doing it, be anxious.

Thoughts on Breathing

• It's a good thing to do on a day-to-day basis. When overwhelmed, I take some time to just take deep breaths and let it out. I don't do it in public, I'll just step to the side and give myself time to reset.

Advice for Newbie

Take it one moment at a time, meaning reflect upon yourself. Don't try to take on the whole world. Don't try to take on more than you should. Start with something simple, something you know. Try being mindful of yourself. What is your state of being, what is your world like at that moment and then go from there.
