Take your time.
Like learning any new skill, meditation requires regular practice to really experience the benefits. So don’t be at all surprised if you find the mind is still very busy after just a few days of meditating. This is perfectly normal and simply means you’re human. Give it time, be kind to your mind and make sure you give it at least 10 days or so before drawing any conclusions.
Just do it.
It’s a funny thing, even though we know something is good for us and even though we know we will feel better afterwards, the mind can still sometimes play games with us. Thoughts like “I don’t have time to meditate”; “I’m too stressed to meditate”; and “I won’t be any good at it” are all very common. Allow them to arise, see them clearly, smile at them for what they are — just thoughts — and then meditate anyway.
