"I can't meditate," said everyone, at least once.⁣

⁣

⁣

Here are 𝟏𝟓 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲.⁣

⁣

⁣

1- you have expectations on how it should be/feel⁣

⁣

2- you get frustrated because your mind is active⁣

⁣

3- you stop because you get too many ideas and you want to put them down as soon as possible⁣

⁣

4- you expect immediate results⁣

⁣

5- you choose the wrong moments (you are too tired or too emotional to sit quietly)⁣

⁣

6- you give up too early to body pains⁣

⁣

7 - you are battling your mind instead of embracing it⁣

⁣

8- you try to do it all alone - there are numbers of meditations online that can be helpful to set a practice. And even better, there are meditation groups to join which will support and motivate your practice⁣

⁣

9- you feel a loser because you don't have mystical experiences - sorry to break it for you, that's not the purpose of meditation.⁣

⁣

10- you haven't found the technique that works for you⁣

⁣

11- you forgot to use your breath as a compass⁣

⁣

12- wrong food/drinks before meditating - big meal, alcohol, too much caffeine and sugars sabotage your meditation session⁣

⁣

13- you are distracted by notifications/phone activity⁣

⁣

14- the wrong environment - it's easier to quiet your mind when your environment reflects that quietness.⁣

⁣

15- you don't give it consistency - 2 minutes a day is better than 30 minutes once a month⁣

⁣

⁣

Can you recognize any of these?⁣
