Need help: How can I motivate myself to meditate, am I the only one who often get's bored with it?
​
I’ve been meditating daily using Dr. Joe’s meditations for almost five months, and I had already been meditating for about a year before that.
However, I have to admit that I keep running into motivation issues when it comes to meditation. It’s a bit of a love-hate relationship for me;
while I’ve certainly had intense experiences during meditation, I often get bored when nothing seems to happen, and I feel frustrated that I still haven’t healed—and that things actually got worse at one point. I really want to heal and not to suffer anymore.
There were even days when I meditated for several hours, but I have absolutely no desire to do that anymore.
These days, I tend to stick to shorter meditations because I lost interest in the long ones.
It seems like most people really enjoy doing it, which makes me wonder what’s wrong with me.
Do any of you sometimes also feel this way? Have you figured out a way to change that, or what keeps you motivated?
