Effect on Emotions

I tend to be quite stoic most of the time. My wife often has to remind me that I'm not always in front of the computer, and I have to make an effort to stay positive, even when my mind is racing and jumping from one thought to another.

This is a common challenge for business owners and startups. I attended a business accelerator where they emphasized the importance of not letting emotions take over, as the journey can be very unpredictable with its ups and downs.

It's tough, and having been an entrepreneur for a long time, I can attest that managing emotions is always a challenge in this world.sting

Thoughts on Breathing

I used to have an Apple Watch that reminded me to breathe periodically.

I've also watched a few YouTube videos where they recommend breathing in for four, five, or even ten times, and then adding a few extra breaths at the end.

I’ve tried it a couple of times but haven’t done it consistently enough to notice any significant effects.

The science behind it makes complete sense, but I don’t have a personal opinion on it yet. Fasting

Bullying Story

I think, especially for entrepreneurs, it's tough to relinquish control and accept that you don't know everything. When you do, it can almost feel like you're being bullied.

You think, ‘If I don't know this, I have to trust someone else,' and that creates a sense of uncertainty—'What if I'm making the wrong decision?'

In some sales situations, I’ve felt like the process was overly pushy in certain areas, but not to an extreme degree. Fasting
