Hey there,
Most people think meditation is about clearing your mind. Sitting in silence. Reaching some blissful state of inner peace.
It's not. And that misunderstanding is probably why you tried it, hated it, and assumed you were doing it wrong.
In the latest episode of Solved, Drew and I get into what meditation actually does, what the research says it doesn't do, and why the fact that your brain won't shut up during it is the whole point.
We also tackle the biggest objections people have: "I can't sit still," "my brain is too loud," "I don't have time." Turns out most of those aren't reasons you can't meditate. They're signs you probably should.
