https://youtu.be/06JPVvdlVSs   Many people who attempt to meditate find it a real struggle. Teachers across traditions have said as much for centuries—resistance isn’t new—but in our digital age it’s louder.

At the time, I wasn’t doing all that well in school — mostly because I hadn’t yet developed solid study habits.
