I still get angry, I mean, everybody get angry, but I used to... I'm sure my blood pressure would go through the roof. It was like the coyote off of the road runner series. I would be just a burst of frustration and stuff. And now, I think of it more of a gradual increase or a frustration. It's a big difference.Thoughts on BreathingThat's actually how I focus on my meditation. I focus on the breathing in and the breathing out. If I stray off, which happens every few seconds, I refocus on the breathing so it is important and I'd listen to that breath so I don't always use ocean sounds as I'm meditating but I do always focus on the breathing.Suggested ResourcesBook: The Primal Blueprint by Mark SissonApp: Brain WaveAdvice for Newbie I would like those people to not worry about being perfect at it. Even if you can just do two minutes a day and just start and increase it, and that's what I did. I started very short on the meditation but it was pretty easy for me to come up to a longer time. I could go longer than eight minutes but I usually find that that is the point where I can continue to focus and I don't want to go and do something else. The other thing that I would recommend is they not only focus on meditation. It's not only that time, It's how they're treating their whole life.

1:20.2	I'm really looking forward to talking to you about this, but first I just want to ask you,
1:27.2	what does mindfulness mean to you? Mindfulness means an awareness of myself, the world around me,
