  • Summary

  • What happens when you sit still and do nothing?


    For most of us, the second we try, our minds go into overdrive — racing from one thought to the next, bouncing between worries, distractions, and random memories. And that’s exactly why meditation feels frustrating.


    But here’s the truth: Meditation isn’t about stopping your thoughts. It’s about learning to work with them.
    In this episode, we break down what meditation actually is, how it works, and why it’s one of the most powerful tools for training your attention.


    • Why meditation is mental training, not just relaxation


    • Different styles of meditation & how to find the right fit


    • Why wandering thoughts aren’t failure (they’re the practice)

    
• How even two minutes a day can change how you focus, think, and respond


    • Practical ways to start — and stick with it


    If mindfulness is about noticing where your attention goes, meditation is how you strengthen the skill of bringing it back.


    It’s not about achieving some perfect state. It’s about learning to show up for your own life…again and again.
