When people would tell me to meditate I imagined just sitting someplace with my eyes closed, emptying my mind and being at peace….when I tried it however, I would get my eyes closed then I’d feel an itch somewhere, or I’d empty my mind only for some random thought to make its way in, and I’d empty it again and another thought would pop up, I’d get so frustrated and start fidgeting and just give up. For years people would tell me how awesome meditation is, how peaceful and how they’d get a message or suddenly be inspired to do something amazing, and I’d think, that's great for you, it doesn’t work for me, then I’d go about my un-meditating life.
