🧠 1. You Can’t Stop Thinking
The mind won’t drop its luggage on command. Meditation isn’t about shutting down your thoughts—it’s about substituting the chaos for something simple, like counting or breathing. Not blankness, but a deliberate focus so low-entropy it’s almost stillness.
🪞 2. You Expect Instant Zen
If you think meditation should instantly make you feel good, you’re missing the point. It’s about noticing how often you’re not feeling good and sticking with it. The quiet grows over time, not in ten minutes.
⏳ 3. You Think You Need 30 Minutes a Day
You don’t need a perfect, monk-like routine. Even a couple of minutes can shift your mind’s baseline. Waiting for the ideal window? You’ll wait forever. Start with what you’ve got.
It’s not broken. You’re not broken. Meditation is messy, but it’s worth showing up for.
