Come on, give me the chills

Thoughts about changing, life, and whatever comes to mind.

the tension

Meditating every day is a constant struggle, a fight for the attention. It’s like failing each and every single day at a seemingly basic goal: staying focused on your breath.

It kinda reminds me of jumping rope, where when you start learning, you often get the tempo wrong and you need to start again.
Meditating, to me, is like this. I continue failing, but for the few seconds or moments that I can focus that experience is worth it.

Those seconds are what make it worthwhile. Even more so if you consider how many changes you have in your daily life.
But, on the other hand, learning how to not get frustrated with these failures is not easy and you always have the tendency to give up, to say “why am I doing this?” to just surrender to the impossible task.

But it’s not impossible. As with any skill, as with any learning, you get to the end step by step. One single step at a time.
