I tried to officially meditate today as part of a personal coaching program I started.

You're supposed to look inside yourself and stuff.  I did that.  It gave me a headache.

So, I backed off that and tried to "enter a peaceful state."  I did that.  And fell asleep.

I woke up with a headache and feeling exhausted.

It would seem, at first glance, that this whole meditation thing is really a lot of work.  I was warned it might be and it looks like the warning was correct.

Now I'll give it an honest try. But from right here, where I sit right now, I'm thinking that a 12 pack of beer will give me a whole lot more introspection for the money.
