LinkedIn is becoming too much like Facebook and Twitter.
I've never done just normal meditation, but I like hypnotherapy/ affirmations. I found it helps me relax. First time I did it in person with a hypnotherapist I felt high afterward.I have severe irritability, grumpiness and anxiety.
Im thinking about trying meditation.
What is the best way for me to get started trying to meditate if I have never done it before?
Just like a baby step to try and relax and focus

1. Between 7 and 8 hours usually.Do any of you cold call consistently? I made 30 of them today, and only one person picked. The names on the voicemails matched 70-80% of the time, so it was a quality data set. People just didn't pick up.
Enterprise sales.
A few questions: 1) How much sleep do you get each night? 2) What is your diet like 3) What is your exercise routine like? 4) How much time do you spend around close family and friends? 5) How much sun do you get?
I think that meditation is the wrong answer to stuff like this. Meditation has its place, but in this case, I think that the answer to stress is more stress.
Like I mentioned above, I was cold calling earlier, and the first one was terrifying (it took me 30 minutes to actually pick up the phone), but they got much easier after the first 5. I even felt dramatically more relaxed while out in public. I used to have similar experiences when I would hit on women in public places - the more I did it, the less stress I felt.
Over the last few years, the worst stress that I felt was the result of not gaining traction on my goals, which was mostly due to a lack of clarity. Perhaps you're in a similar boat.
WTF IS HAPPENING.
I AM LOSING IT WITH ALL THIS CRAP.

This is how bad people's social skills are now:
From Virtual Selling by Jeb Blount:
"The sales profession's aversion to talking with people had become so dire that over the past five years, at least half of Sales Gravy's training and consulting engagements have been focused on one thing: teaching and compelling salespeople to pick up the damn phone."
Even f*cking salespeople don't like talking to people. Things are that bad.
To anyone who wants to start a business: you have no competition.
More from Jeb Blount:
"The problem with getting salespeople to use the phone is so prevalent that powerful and sophisticated, omnichannel sales engagement engines, including VanillaSoft, HubSpot Sales Pro, Outreach, and SalesLoft, have become little more than expensive ways for salespeople to send thousands of automated emails cloaked under the guise of sales activity."
Everyone agreed they would rather be Ronaldo than Buffett, lol.
It was unanimous. I was curious if anybody actually cared enough to choose Buffett since he is probably 1,000 times wealthier.I actually mention this in my new book, about using the phone. It's one of my principles.
Not surprising, I'm hoping it was unanimous. Buffett strikes me as a stingy old man who doesn't know how to have fun.

But Ronaldo makes millions every year, is younger, fit, good looking, has a gorgeous wife and family and plays the sport he loves.
Hard to beat that.
Exactly the point!Ok but...as you said Ronaldo is younger (only 36) and is an athlete. Buffet is 90 and all about investing.
There are diminishing returns to wealth.
I'd rather be younger and with the ability to forge my future path. Buffet's life is what it is. It's not very appealing to me.
Curious if anyone would ever choose otherwise

I was thinking of this exact passage when reading the posts above. To be fair though, Felix had a lot of life in those years lolFrom Felix Dennis's How to Get Rich. Sadly, he died at 67, over two decades younger than Buffett is now.
I agree. Also if you have perfect health, you are rich.They would have to hate their life and have a death wish. At 90, each year, your death probability is roughly 1 in 6. Roll a dice.
It shouldn't be appealing to anyone. At 90, his riches don't matter at all. He's one of the poorest people in the world in the most important asset there is: time.
Made me think of this:
Time is finite. Which is a fancy way of saying that you only have so much of it – then it will run out. When you are young, time seems to stretch into the distance for so far that surely it will always be on your side? When the young catch the old unawares, they may sometimes glimpse a look of naked envy, which is then instantly disguised.
And the old have reason to be envious. Truly, truly, they do.
Ask me what I will give you if you could wave a magic wand and give me my youth back. The answer would be everything I own and everything I will ever own. In The Odyssey we read:
And Achilles replied, ‘Do not speak soothingly to me of death, glorious Odysseus. I would rather live on earth as a bondsman to the meanest peasant, than be king of all the shadows.’
Homer, as always, is right.
If you are young and reading this then I ask you to remember just this: you are richer than anyone older than you, and far richer than those who are much older. What you choose to do with the time that stretches out before you is entirely a matter for you. But do not say you started the journey poor. If you are young, you are infinitely richer than I can ever be again.
Money is never owned. It is only in your custody for a while. Time is always running on, and the young have more of it in their pocket than the richest man or woman alive. That is not sentimentality speaking. That is sober fact.
