I used to find meditation frustrating and boring, and didn’t feel like I was getting anything out of it, because it didn’t feel like practicing hard at something.
Interesting, meditation does feel to me like practicing hard at something, and did from the very beginning. Even if that something is just sitting still and doing nothing and not getting up to do all the things that I’m constantly remembering I should do. It was hard.

Hard as in effortful, requiring willpower, &c.? Or just hard as in you were trying to do something & weren’t good at it yet?
Because the “click” moment for me was realizing that meditation could be in the second category but not the first.
Both. I think we’re different in that way.
:| Maybe this is part of why meditation is so hard to talk about and conffusing to read about.
