      exactly

      It’s funny, because, people always used to tell me “try meditation” as if the magic words “try” and “meditation” together would psychically instill within me a process for performing it

      when really what i needed was for someone to tell me what i wrote above.

        ye there’s the misconception that meditating means sitting cross-legged and chanting “omm”, when in reality it is anything which can keep your brain free of complex thoughts. For example my meditation is usually actually think “breathe in, breathe out”. If I catch myself having any other thought than those two, I banish them.
