Grinding To A Halt

Mindfulness of Breathing – Journey 1 Week 13

Another week of getting nowhere. Thoughts still take over for the majority of each session. The times in between are calmer but unfortunately don’t last.

I come away from each session slightly more relaxed but with a sense that I’ve really just been daydreaming and not meditating.

The drowsiness of everyday life has taken over from the alert state in meditation. I’ve fallen asleep and can’t wake up, too distracted by dreams.

When I’ve seen all the progress I’ve made vanish over a few weeks, it doesn’t really encourage me to keep meditating as I’m no longer seeing any benefit. I need something to get that motivation back.

Do I carry on with trying to meditate, do I try something different or do I have a break? Maybe I could do with a week of more intensive sessions to try and break through the wall of resistance in my head. Maybe I need to have a rest from it, press the reset button and start again.

Help!
