Getting recommended meditation by a friend or a therapist feels kind of weird. It’s like they know just by looking at you that you refuse to shut off your brain for even one second of your waking hours. They sniff you and think, «now, this is a person who will consume media at an alarming rate so that they don’t have to hear a single thought bouncing through their already full head.» I’ve never successfully done meditation because I struggle to take it seriously. I’m supposed to not ruminate on any thoughts that fly through my head for 10-15 minutes in the morning before work? To me, that’s just called sleeping. 

Respecting meditation as a universally helpful practice is not a requirement for being a fun and well-adjusted human being. In my honest opinion, taking in regular servings of funny and random memes is far more beneficial for your mind.
