Memorable Quotes:
“Just by working with our breath we can change how we feel.”
“The other side of anger is peace and joy. The other side of sadness is happiness, contentment. The other side of frustration is maybe acceptance...as long as we can get through them. But we’re not taught how to deal well with those emotions.”
“This is why we enjoy the process, because there is no endpoint. This is just life.”
“There’s a time to move and a time to step back. There’s a time to reflect and a time to take action.”
