meditation is not for everyone , it doesn't mean you suck at it
and I suggest you write your own affirmations eg "I am the type of person who ....." 'I am the type of person who does not ..."
That's what I do.
Thanks Seagoon. I guess before I decide something is really not for me, I try to dive a little into the why. I do have one sort of meditative app I listen to sometimes. I find myself so picky with sound and voices etc. and while I can sit quietly… I don’t know, sometimes I wonder if just sitting somewhere in nature and just observing is kind of meditative, too? (I’m still working on the affirmations thing, but I like the sound of what you wrote. Thanks so much.)
it certainly is 😊
Meditation takes practice. It's not just something you're good or bad at, it's a skill, and you need to work at it to improve - pretty much everyone will suck at it to start
