“What’s the point of meditation, anyway?<\/p>\n
Isn’t it just sitting there with your eyes closed, doing nothing? I don’t get it.”<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure many of you have thought this before.<\/p>\n
To be honest, I used to think the same thing.<\/p>\n
Whenever I saw someone meditating, I’d think, “Aren’t they just wasting their time?”<\/p>\n
Especially when I was busy, I’d think, “If I have time for that, I should be doing something more productive,” or “I’d rather be sleeping.”<\/p>\n
When I was working long hours as a company employee, I couldn’t even imagine sitting still for a few minutes, let alone meditate.<\/p>\n
I was so caught up in meeting the expectations of others and chasing after visible results. It felt almost scary to take a moment to pause.<\/p>\n
And when I saw people meditating, I’d sometimes think negatively, like, “Maybe they have some deep-rooted stress.”<\/p>\n
But now, meditation has become a part of my daily life. In fact, I value it even more during busy times.<\/p>\n
Why did my perspective change so drastically? Let me explain.<\/p>\n
