Daily meditation can sometimes feel like a chore—like a strange contradiction to the peace we’re seeking. But it’s precisely on those days, when you don’t feel like sitting, that the practice holds its deepest power.
Why?
Because when you meditate even when you don’t want to, you’re training something beyond just calm:
– Conscious discipline, not forced.
– Acceptance of the present moment, as it is.
– Freedom from mood or resistance.
– A deeper awareness, not dependent on how you feel.
By staying consistent—especially when it’s uncomfortable—you’re cultivating not just calm, but equanimity: a steadier, deeper peace that isn’t shaken by internal or external storms.
