Hi @jeffcomeau ! This was a great introduction post, and I am happy to have come across you thanks to it.
I look very much forward to see what you can share on these topics. Working both in the space sector and with entrepreneurial projects on the side, I recently had a complete burnout. I had to let go of a number of things and found meditation as almost a life-saver. The ability to let go, and be able to just observe stress and other emotions run through the mind without letting it affect me more than necessary has truly helped me get back on track and with higher productivity levels than before. Hope you can help others achieve the same!
So I will enjoy reading your post and hope we can both benefit from connecting here on steemit.

Thanks for your tips on the way you meditate, I will apply them! You have the #1 solution with meditation! It is so underestimated and frowned upon socially. I find difficult to talk about it with people around me : they have this conceptualized image of a monk praying, in solitude and asceticism which is far from being the unique way of meditating!
Hahaha, yes and with a lot of new-age spiritual mumbo-jumbo being preached at every yoga-club, there is a bit of a credibility gap to be closed :P
People around me tend to get interested in it when they ask me how I manage to stay calm even when projects we work on get really intense. Or how I stay calm also in heated debates related to work etc. :) I think one has to demonstrate its value, and not just talk about it.
