workout yoga exercise
I began by doing physical yoga, initially just for the workout, as exercise. I would get peaceful and calm at the end of it, and I was curious about that.
simple practice days-off
You can turn just about any simple act into a practice of mindfulness, and it will nurture and nourish you; it will start your day off in a positive way.
strong taken people
But the experience that I had, which was basically just feeling loved and taken care of in a room full of thousands of people I didn't know, seemed to be a pretty strong sign that what I was doing was a good thing.
live-life thinking addiction
I think it’s the misperception of addiction and living life on the edge, as if it’s cool.
responsibility mental-health physical-health
Even with mental health as well as physical health, it's about taking responsibility and knowing that you're part of the solution always.
men manhattan world
Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.
new-york night men
I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he'd shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.
husband cancer order
Cancer came back into my life twice in order for me to understand something, and I guess I still wasn't getting it. And my husband wasn't getting it, either.
community suffering trying
Since I come from a family of mental instability, and I have suffered depression myself, I knew that living in shame is senseless and painful, and that by talking about it, I have come to peace with it. The stigma behind people's suffering needs to end. We as a community need to embrace these disorders, try to understand them (if only just to talk about them) so that we can cease being defined by them.
honest i-can
I don't take myself terribly seriously. It's why I can be incredibly honest about my life.
anxiety feelings want
What I wasn't prepared for were the feelings of anxiety that it stirred in me. I wasn't prepared for the initial feeling of I don't want to have to do that again. I was scared.
real giving scary
What they were giving me seemed incredibly real to me, so I'd react to it in a very real way. That was frightening for me, especially because of the subject.
giving people suffering
The prevalence of mental illness compels me to give it - and the people suffering from it - a voice.
life children real
When child actors act well they're just reacting to situations, and they're acting very real because their life experience is so short; there's no history to fall back on.
