How does meditation help with anxiety?
I hear you recommend meditation a lot on the podcast, but I've only tried it a few times. You said it would help with anxiety. Can you tell me how it helps? How long will it take to see results? Love the show! I listen to you on my runs all of the time.
I've been having trouble sleeping during the quarantine. Do you have any tips?
Ugh... so much stress! My mind just won't shut off. Plz help! I just think of everything and everything when I try and go to sleep at night. I end up taking at least an hour or two to fall asleep. Any tips would be appreciated.
How do you help someone to become more self-reflecting and to open up?
Being a self-reflective person myself, I usually seek answers and techniques as an instinct but I know quite a lot of people who don't really know how to start or who don't even experience the thought of having to start reflecting or working on their internal world (while I do believe that it will benefit them greatly). Hopefully, you know something that can trigger them. I have tried to recommend the podcast or some of the actions you have suggested before but I suppose that it is already a bit too big of a step for most of them. Therefore, the question how to help them see/feel that they might need to look into themselves first.
What to do when you feel you are burnout
Hi Ben, I know there are two podcast episodes that talk about preventing burnout. But unfortunately, I think I'm already there. I thought I could manage it, but things outside my control happened. I'm a startup co-founder and we are in a crucial point at the moment, where I need to be present, but my brain is exhausted. I have constant headaches and I reach cognitive fatigue very quickly, so I can't think properly or perform the tasks I need to do. I can't be productive and it's hard to relax. Do you have any insight of how to start treating a burnout?
