MEDITATION Help Relieve Anxiety & Calm the Mind There are lots of excuses to not practice meditation. I cannot meditate. I don't have the patience, I don't have the drive. I get too bored too quickly. Does that sound familiar? It does to me because I'm exactly the same way. Look, it's not the easiest thing to do at the beginning, but with just a little bit of practice, you can get to where you're feeling better through meditation.
