I appreciate the kind words buddy
At the moment no. I found a new designer that is modifying the logo I created with their own twist. I will likely file for a trademark once its finished.
The first designer I used had to sign an NDA. However, he did an awful job and I ended up having my brother bring the designs in my head to life.
I did this up to about 20k (now at around 22k) followers and stopped. Now I just post daily customer pictures showing off the product. When I was actively using the method I would unfollow after about a week and honestly most people really either dont notice or care enough to say anything.
Once my followers got up to the point where the brand looked credible (20k for me) I stopped and focused on more important things. I do think it is important though when starting off to make your brand look as big and trustable as possible any whatever way you can. The biggest issue when starting is having customers get over the trust barrier. Social proof 100% helps.
10 minutes is the perfect time for me as well. I do it early in the morning right before I work out. With anything longer than 10 mins, I get annoyed and just want to start my day already! Not sure if you're familiar with it but I use the app "Headspace" and like it a lot. Although the guy talks to much in some of the earlier lessons.

Do you do anything to protect your logo? To my understanding without legal resitration everyone else can use your logo.

79 NDA
You mentioned NDA. Did you get your designer to sign the NDA as well? If not why?

82 follow/unfollow, meditation
I've heard so many times about this follow/unfollow strategy. Doesn't unfollow piss people off? How long after do you unfollow them?

In terms of meditation, I can share something with you because I've been doing meditation every morning for over a year. As MJ said in UNSCRIPTED , visualization can affect your body, physically. Recently I've made several changes and I can see the benefits!
* As you already did, use guided meditation or at least play some soothing music.
* Find your G spot length. (btw I don't usually use this G word. please blame UNSCRIPTED .) I mostly did 50 minutes to 1 hour but I found 10 minutes in the morning is the most effective.
* In my meditation, I now focus on visualizing the improvement of my certain health issues. I imagine a healing smoke entering my body (with a color you believe has a healing power) and try to feel how great it is when those challenges are gone. I can actually observe the improvement!!!
