Excellent article and well presented in the form of a cartoon conversation.

While I disagree that meditation isn't effective in the long-run, I do agree that there's a lot of noise about how to meditate, and that everyone is trying to sell their services instead of actually helping a newbie.

Writing certainly helps and free-writing or stream of consciousness writing is a fun and relaxing activity.

In your article you've shared the anxiety of many and also provided a good solution, which is admirable. Moreover, you've taken extra effort to present it in a friendly format of a cartoon. Hope to see more insightful articles from you.

P.S. - Good to know that you've read "Never split the difference", it is quite an insightful book.
