Think You're Bad at Meditation? Your Mind Just Needs Training — Not Punishment

Every time you try to meditate your mind immediately starts running in seventeen directions and you conclude you are simply not built for stillness. That conclusion is wrong. Phyllis Coletta says a mind that will not sit still is not a broken mind — it is a puppy mind doing exactly what untrained puppy minds do. And you would never punish a puppy for being a puppy. What she shares about the two-minute landing practice that stops mental frenzy on demand, why kindness toward your own wandering mind works exponentially better than inner bullying, and the tiny repeatable habits that build real stillness in ordinary life rather than on a retreat will give you the most accessible and genuinely doable entry point into meditation you have ever found. You are not bad at this. You just have not been shown how to start small enough. This episode shows you.
