Forcing your mind to be quiet creates resistance

Ria sat in silence, trying to meditate. “Why can’t I stop thinking?” she thought angrily, which only made her more frustrated.

 “A noisy mind doesn’t mean you’re failing - it means you are human. Mindfulness isn’t about control; it’s about acceptance. Just keep returning to your breath when your mind wanders.”

With those reassuring words from the guide, Ria tried again with less pressure. She learned to let her thoughts come and go, like waves on a shore.

Forcing your mind to be quiet creates resistance. Allowing it to wander builds acceptance.
