Alex achieved a good amount of success in high school in both sports and academics. Little did he know the real world would give him a rude awakening that would eventually manifest in a panic attack. He turned to meditation after sifting through many self help guides and has seen great benefits since then. We talk about:
- Achieving a lot at an early age setting the stage for future stress
- How having a panic attack made him look at his life deeper
- How he seeks out self help info to gain an advantage and how this led him to meditation
- His recognition of his place on earth to get him through tough times
- The benefits that he received from meditation early on
- How to turn awareness into action
- How his competitive nature crept into his meditation practice and caused him to step away for a litle bit
- Where meditation shows up in his life
- How just breathing can be a game changer
- How meditation has benefitted him in Sales
- What his new years resolution was
