I Meditated All Day for 30 Days & I Wasn’t Ready for What Happened Next
Every self-help book or any self-help guru, in general, will always suggest you Meditate if you want peace of mind + happier life.
There are so many great videos, books, and mind-blowing facts available on meditation that one of my life’s biggest goals was to start meditating as soon as possible. But guess what? The idea of sitting in one place with your eyes closed and focusing on nothing is quite boring to me. Okay, not boring but tougher than hell.
If you make me sit all by myself, my mind would start whispering such terrible things in my hand that I would want to scream as loudly as I can to silence those little whispers. I am sure I am not alone in this.
When people like you and I sit to meditate, our monkey minds start showing off their skills. The skill of jumping from past regrets to future worries whilst thinking about ‘what and how everything can go wrong in our lives. How we can fail at what we haven’t even started? How people we love will leave us if they see what we are trying to hide and how we can end up becoming a person who is never enough”
Cool. It’s our mind but somehow it just wants to go against us. All the time. And the stupid little monkey aka our mind cannot even sit silently at one branch when we are trying to meditate.
