6 Reasons Ppl Avoid Meditation šŖ·
(Even Though It Could Change Their Life)
Can you relate to any of these?
1ļøā£ We Think Itās Supposed to Look a Certain Way
Most ppl imagine meditation as sitting cross-legged in silence for hours. Truth is, it can be as simple as breathing deeply for a minute, walking mindfully, or reflecting on a single question. We avoid it because we think weāre doing it wrongābut there is no āwrongā way to be present.
2ļøā£ Weāre Addicted to Distraction
Our brains are wired to chase stimulation. Phones, social media, constant noiseāthese give us tiny hits of dopamine. Meditation feels like the opposite: no scrolling, no sound, no reward. That stillness feels uncomfortable at first, so we fill it with something else.
3ļøā£ We Fear What We Might Feel
Stillness brings up what weāve buried. Emotions, regrets, thoughts weāve avoidedāmeditation surfaces them. Itās easier to stay busy than to face ourselves. But ironically, the only way to truly release that heaviness is to feel it.
4ļøā£ We Expect Instant Results
In a world of āquick fixes,ā meditation feels slow. We expect enlightenment by week two. But meditation isnāt a raceāitās a relationship. The benefits build quietly, like roots growing underground before a tree breaks the surface.
5ļøā£ We Donāt Know Where to Start
With so many apps, teachers, and stylesāmindfulness, transcendental, contemplativeāit can feel overwhelming. The truth? Just start with one minute of awareness. Notice your breath. Notice your body. Thatās already meditation.
6ļøā£ We Mistake Silence for Emptiness
Silence isnāt emptyāitās full. Full of insight, awareness, peace, and connection. Weāve just forgotten how to listen. When we sit still, we remember.
āØ The Bottom Line
Most ppl avoid meditation not because it doesnāt work, but because it does. It slows the mind, reveals truth, and returns us to ourselves. Thatās powerfulāand sometimes scary.
But the next time u resist, ask urself:
āAm I avoiding meditationāor am I avoiding me?ā
Is anyone interested? In a 7 day Challenge?

Anyone can meditate. Nature-based contemplative meditation is one of the easiest & most rewarding practices we can enjoy daily in 3-5 minutes.
