Effect On Emotions

• Mindfulness helps me deal with my emotions very effectively. The first thing that comes to mind is a stubbornness that would come up in conflict with my husband.
• The stubbornness would come up in two parts. I would need to be right and he would need to be right. That would create attention and a stubbornness sensation.

Thoughts On Breathing

• Some people may not be aware of the relationship between breathing and their HRV, which is heart rate variability.
• We know we want it to be high, but what does that mean? This phenomenon is called asinalsodal arrhythmia.
• As you breathe in, your heart rate increases, and as you breathe out, your heart rate decreases. This happens because as you breathe in, your heart rate is increasing and increasing, and the compensatory mechanisms in your body at that point say oh no, our heart rate is going up; we need to make sure that we're managing our blood pressure.
• We dilate our blood vessels to keep our blood pressure constant as our heart rate increases with the in-breath. Then, your vagus nerve kicks in to bring in your parasympathetic nervous system to try to calm your body down, and your heart rate decreases with your out-breath.
