Effect on Emotions
-
When I'm stressed or overwhelmed, mindfulness helps me refocus. I take a deep breath, remind myself that things are under control.
-
I then shift my focus to what I can do now. Instead of dwelling on the past, I ask, “What can I do to feel better?”
-
That mindset has always helped me through tough times.
Thoughts on Breathing
-
Breathing and mindfulness are powerful tools. Slowing your breath helps calm your heart rate and reduce stress.
-
Breathing is the core of meditation and yoga. Even a mindful walk, focused on your breathing, can make a big difference.

Bullying Question
-
Regarding bullying, I believe the CollSong app can help reduce meanness. When you're mindful, you're less likely to engage in or be affected by bullying.
-
You stay focused on what's right and positive. I’ve always been energetic, curious, and upbeat. Maybe that mindset kept me from noticing negativity; I was too busy chasing butterflies in my own world.
