So when I started meditating a long time ago, I definitely had the expectation it would be good for me. And that's why I started. People around me said, oh, you should meditate. It's really good for you. It's really good for you. And so that's why I started. And in the beginning, I was bored and I felt angry a lot. And I had a lot of adverse feelings come up like, why am I doing this?

This is really dumb. I don't think this is helping. But also I had a lot of negative, yucky feelings come up that didn't feel good. But then because of that expectation, this is good for me, I had the motivation to continue.

And the more I continued, like practicing a musical instrument or practicing any kind of a TMCBT technique, the more I practiced it, the better I got at it and the more calm I could be as a result of it.
