Keep at it

Don't panic if meditation doesn't appear to click right away. It takes time to create a new habit. Instead of looking for excuses why you can't keep on, use curiosity and an open mind to investigate whatever challenges you're having. The difficulties you confront while meditation can help you improve your practice.

If you find yourself easily sidetracked, consider why. Are you feeling uneasy? Tired? Bored? Accept these feelings and make modifications as needed, they're providing you with crucial information. Try meditating in a different position or at a different time of day.

Bingham adds that practicing acceptance and inquiry in meditation might help you more easily adapt these feelings to your daily life.

This will make it easier for you to cultivate awareness on a regular basis.

Consider this: If you begin meditating when you are anxious or unhappy, you may find that you feel a little better. However, if you maintain a regular meditation practice, you may find it simpler to manage your stress before your emotions take control.
