Hi Eric

Watching a stand up comedy show sounds like a great idea. A bracelet sounds more romantic.

Meditation doesn’t necessarily take much time. When starting out people often recommend to do it for a short amount of time like 5 mins. If you get frustrated at any point it’s suggested to take a break and come back to it later.

Sometimes people find that they prefer to do it for longer amounts of time as opposed to shorter. I found it difficult to calm down initially and ended up practicing for longer periods to overcome that.
