Dealing with a bully can be a difficult challenge, especially when you don't want to engage and just want to be left alone.

It is no excuse for bulling, but realize that the reason bullies are mean is because something awful is happening to them in their own lives. Hurt people hurt people.

Maybe at home they are not getting enough attention or love. 

Maybe someone in their own family is being very mean to them. 

Bullies do not know how to handle their feelings or articulate what is happening to them at home, so the only way they can make themselves feel better is by making someone else feel worse than they feel.

This does not make bullying okay – and if you are being bullied, make sure you talk to a trusted adult at school and at home.

The good news is, we can prepare ourselves for difficult challenges with difficult people by sitting for a few minutes in silence to recognize our inner strength and resilience.

Let us begin by getting comfortable in a chair or on the floor. 

Close your eyes or rest your gaze on the floor below or sky above. 

Take a long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

Again, take another long, slow, deep breath in through your nose, and release that breath out of your mouth.

Now just feel your breath as it enters your body, as you breathe normally. 

Feel your body breathe for you naturally. 

Don't force your breath – just feel your breath enter and exit your body. 

Feel your body breathing. 

Notice how your body is breathing. Are you breathing in and out of your nose?

In and out of your mouth? 

Or a combination of the two? 

Just feel your breath for a few moments. 

Let us say silently in our mind and in our throat, “I am strong, I am resilient.” 

“I am strong, I am resilient.” 

With each inhale or exhale of your breath, repeat the words, “I am strong, I am resilient.” 

“I am strong, I am resilient.” 

“I am strong, I am resilient.” 

Take a deep breath in through your nose, and slowly exhale that breath out of your mouth. 

You are strong. You are resilient. You can handle any challenge that comes.
