Starting a meditation practice (finally)

How Chen went from 'I can't sit still' to 10 minutes of daily calm.

Chen W.December 28, 2024

I always thought meditation wasn't for me. My mind races. I fidget. Sitting still felt like torture.

My Strive journey wasn't 'become a meditation master.' It was just 'explore being still.' No pressure, no expectations.

My first update: 'Sat down for 2 minutes. Couldn't stop thinking about work. Is this even working?' The community response changed everything—turns out everyone's mind wanders. That's normal.

Now I meditate for 10 minutes most days. Some days I skip it. Some days my mind is chaos. But I keep returning, and that's the practice.
