I meditated for 15 months, here’s what I learnt :
I started meditating in mid-2021, and it was uncomfortable.
I’d cry often, I felt numb, it was hard to focus. Negative thoughts would pop up in my mind like ads after every YouTube video.
But after something happened, I felt a sudden urge to meditate. I gave it another shot.

This time, I focused more and set goals. I’d say to my mind: “Focus for 2 min and you’re done”.

5/ To feel more peaceful, calm and stoic, meditate daily.
On days when I meditate, no matter who irritates me, it doesn’t affect me.

4/ It’s your senses’ responsibility to chase instant gratifications.
But it’s only through mental work that you can control your senses.
But it’s only through mental work that you can control your senses.
The body is compared to a chariot, the senses to the horses, the mind to the controlling reins, the sense objects to the roads to be traversed..
