If life is messy, as Tara Brach claims, the sales life is REALLY messy.

Whether working on quarterly strategic account plans or plotting an upcoming pitch, your brain is constantly calculating. Every sales scenario and issue is constantly bouncing around in your brain.

As you attempt to control and configure behaviors and outcomes, you are bombarded with yet more information that joins the cramped and active space between your ears.

It can be exhausting.

Perhaps this weekend affords you a good opportunity to journal?

Journaling always provides a good perspective on the complexities of life.

And, journaling is also a reminder that you – and everyone else – are just a dot on our big spinning marble.

A sobering thought? Yes. But a freeing one, too.

You can find many guided meditations by Tara Brach online, but this one is apt for reconciling the weight of the seller’s life.

Don’t let the title of this meditation fool you. "RAIN" means "Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture." It is a way to bring mindfulness and compassion to difficult emotions.

Lots goes on in your head, which means many emotions get generated, too.
