Poker Player Shares His Journey of Self-Improvement Over Two Years

A poker player has started a blog to share his journey of self-improvement over the past two years. The author has struggled with low self-confidence and self-esteem since the age of 12, and his confidence and self-esteem dropped below a critical level about two years ago.

The author began practicing meditation after a friend recommended the book 10 Minute Meditation. During his first meditation session, he struggled with proper breathing techniques and nearly lost consciousness. However, he found that focusing on breathing helps in stressful situations and acts as a reset for his mind.

The author was inspired by a friend's advice to be original and express personal opinions. He was also influenced by Mark Manson's postmasculine.com, which encouraged him to be vulnerable and authentic in his expressions and decisions.
