10. I kept thinking, "How much longer?"
When I first started meditating, I was definitely not a “natural”. My mantra in those days was “How much longer?” My mind was like a monkey, jumping around all over the place, from my to-do list to the pain in my hip to my endless list of self-criticisms.
What worked for me: First, I made an agreement with myself to meditate every day for 21 days, no matter what. If I hadn’t made this commitment, I’m pretty sure I would've given up out of sheer frustration. Like any new habit, it takes time for our neural pathways to rewire, so we are slowly building our attention muscle—the same way you build muscle by weight lifting. We also need to be a bit patient with ourselves as we learn a new skill. Once I was able to give up expecting my mind to be quiet and stop judging my experiences, it all seemed to flow a lot easier. — Lynne Goldberg, founder of OMG! I Can Meditate
