Meditation is hard, you guys!
It's amazing how doing something as simple as sitting in one place for ten minutes can completely test one's patience. As an adult with ADD, sometimes the most simple tasks become exponentially more difficult.
And what could be more simple than sitting, focusing on the breath and clearing my thoughts?
Apparently, everything!
It is unbelievable how many times a mind can wander... and where it will go! I'm not quite sure if my brain just vibrates at a higher level, bouncing thoughts back and forth at an extreme frequency, or if it is a weird self preservation instinct. Regardless of why, one week into an attempt at a daily meditation practice, I am still having an infuriatingly difficult time just. sitting. still.
Thinking. Thinking. Thinking.
Our whole lives are full of the stuff.
What's for breakfast? Am I going to be late to work? Does my boss like me? Do I like me? Should I gym or should I relax after work? Does my butt look big in these pants?
It's simply instinctual. And we're so used to it that silence is deafening.
