We’re used to being good at things. Or at least getting good quickly. And when we don’t, we either push harder or check out completely. Yoga doesn’t really reward either of those approaches.

And that’s usually where the disconnect starts.

“Focus on your breath,” the instructor says as they guide you through a meditation. “Go deeper inward,” they encourage, but your mind is too busy racing through a thousand other thoughts. 

Then comes the quiet judgment. The narrator who tells you, “I’m bad at this,” and urges you to quit.

You are not failing at meditation because you can’t stop thinking. In fact, that expectation is the problem.
