The effort it takes to do nothing
I wake up in the soup. That's the fog of ever-shifting inconsequential thoughts, the inability to focus, the endless distractibility. (Tip: it's fifteen minutes since I started that last sentence.)
I meditated on two days, and I found a pronounced difference to my steadiness and focus of mind. Then I didn't meditate for two, and I'm as bad as ever.
That's all. Plenty of scope for coincidence, placebo, etcetera etcetera. But I'm certainly going to meditate again right now. Even though the prospect's inexplicably faintly scary.
Update: you have to be a lot better at meditation than I, to meditate successfully when there's a bunch of schoolchildren on break outside. Bugger.
