RE: Meditators of Steemit.... I need your help! | Day 4 of Seven Days of Meditation on FOCUS
perhaps you're trying too hard? expecting too much?
no, I really don't know. Believe me, I am half a month in and I don't see a lot of results either but I feel this is only the beginning and - as is the case with Steemit - and all other things in life that are worth it - it takes months of perseverance and dedication to get some results. And, even then, it might turn around again.
The main thing is, to not give up and - more importantly - to not feel bad about whatever your meditation leads to. I feel that is one thing that I'm definitely learning these weeks. Whatever happens, it has way less effect on me than it would have in the past.
Also you might want to give the post that I wrote 4 days ago - music that is changing my life - a try. It has really helped me.
All the best,
Vincent
I kind of echo the comment above sounds like you are trying too hard, what is your focus?? Is it too big could you bitesize it down to something smaller and more easily reachable.
Its easier when you clear your mind to meditate than for focus, alternative to that I don't know if you can but there are other types such as watching a fire, that could help also??
ooh sitting near a fire and zoning out is one of my favorite things to do... unfortunately I don't have access to any open flame at the moment, but @teamhumble has an awesome campfire video that's about 2 hours! I love it, and If i sit close enough to our electric heater it feels real hehe
will do friend, and thank you for the encouraging words- it wouldn't be the first time i've over thought something or tried too hard. I've had a tough day and I'm exhausted so taking today off too and we'll see how we go for the rest of the days.
I'm having a hard time even putting a post together and replying to comments, much less dealing with my own lofty monthly goals at the moment
Will totally check out your post, thank you!
I totally get it. Enjoy your day off! You totally deserve it.
I am trying to rest more myself too. The calm app reminded me of the importance of rest. Right now, I feel I don't have the head space to figure out my plans and I can't stay in airbnb's eternally as I'm far from being a crypto millionaire ;>)
Take care!
Haha hang in there! I hear you!
