PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don’t tell me to be happy
Virtually all of us have been there at some point in our life.
It went something like this-- You were feeling sad, upset, anxious, or overwhelmed and upon noticing this a well-meaning family member or friend has innocently told you some variety of: “You know, you have X, Y, and Z, just be happy!”

We know meditation is good for us: Why is it, then, that it is SO difficult to consistently do it?
Most of us have some familiarity with the potential benefits of daily meditation, or the practice of devoting a certain period of time each day to quiet our minds of the constant stream of thoughts that each of us experience almost every minute of our waking day.
