I Can't Stop Thinking!
Pretty much crashed and burned when it came to meditating. All I ever did for those 15 to 20 minutes every day was sit around and think about stuff. The point was to "quiet the mind", to not think, but my thoughts just wouldn't shut up. I did feel like I got somewhere during a couple of the times that I meditated, but during the majority of them, I would finally just get up and go back to whatever I was doing because I would get irritated by the constant thoughts about trivial matters. The books I read keep saying that "it's easy" and "relaxing", but so far, I've found it to be very difficult to truly quiet my mind, and the process has left me more frustrated than relaxed. I'll give meditation another try sometime in the future, but for now, I can't stop thinking.
