Effect on Emotions

However, he now understands that emotions themselves are not inherently negative or positive. Instead, he recognizes that everything in life comes with trade-offs, pros, and cons.
• Tim acknowledges that his previous fixation on one aspect of his emotions led to resistance and exaggerated reactions, making them more significant than necessary.
• By embracing the understanding that everything exists within a duality or varying degrees, he has found a sense of balance. This realization has helped him approach his emotions with greater equanimity and acceptance, allowing him to navigate them with more ease and without judgment.

Thoughts on Breathing

• Tim emphasizes the importance of energy check-ins and breathwork to optimize his presence and productivity. By monitoring his energy levels and engaging in intentional breathwork when needed, he ensures he shows up at his best.
