"I've tried to meditate, but I can't get my brain to shut up!"
I hear it all the time when it comes to meditation:
😵 I can’t meditate, my mind never shuts up!
😵 It’s too hard.
😵 I can’t meditate, I can’t sit still!
😵 I can’t meditate, I just don’t have time.
😵 It’s too woo-woo.
😵 I don’t see the point.
And so on.
Many people who think they can’t meditate don’t have a clear picture of what meditation is and what purpose it will serve.
Meditation has been scientifically proven to improve your mental health, ease anxiety, support sleep, lower blood pressure, and more, but there are many things that get in the way of actually practicing.
Learning to meditate is challenging initially, I know it was for me. Mind racing, trouble sitting still, uncomfortable. I've been there.
Seeing the value of sitting and "doing nothing" when time is limited, and there is always so much to do, can be a tough pill to swallow. But through practice, I have come to understand the benefits of stillness, and I am here to share them with you.
As a long time yoga instructor, I've heard all of the reasons people think they can't meditate but they are usually based on false beliefs.
Understanding what meditation is and isn't helps.
