My Strained Relationship with Meditation
I love meditating.
But that doesnt mean Im good at it or that I effortlessly maintain a consistent practice.
I just dont have the time.
One possible reason for this neglect?

I was certain this was going to be the game-changer my meditation practice was missing.
And for the most part, the first week was successful.
I meditated not three, not four, but five (!!)
days during my first week with using the Core trainer.
As a proficient procrastinator, I was super proud of that feat.
However, I was having trouble becoming accustomed to the gear’s vibrations and became fixated on my frustrations.
(Sound familiar but haven’t used the Core?Carpal tunnelmight be to blame for the tingling.)
Week 2
Week two was a rough one.
And so, I wound up only meditating twice before bed this week.
But the orbdidprove to be that helpful physical reminder.
Positioned next to my book and glasses on my nightstand, the Core was always…well…there.
It became increasingly more difficult to find excuses to not do just work in a quick 5-minute mediation session.
Id suddenly become itchy or feel a need to squirm, which would interrupt my practice.
It reminds me to just take five minutes when I can for myself.
