Meditation

If you've decided you're bad at meditation because your mind wanders, you've misunderstood the assignment.

The wandering is the material. Returning is the practice.

Consistency matters far more than duration. Two minutes daily changes more than an hour on a Sunday, because the point is building the habit of noticing.

A small gap between feeling something and reacting to it.

Using stillness to bypass what needs feeling.

• Two minutes, same time each day, for one cycle.

• Count breaths and start again when you lose count.

• Note afterwards what kept arriving.

• What thought keeps returning?

• What am I quietest about?

• How does my body feel afterwards?
