Even that felt like too much.

And that's a surprisingly effective trick that I use in all aspects of my life way, way more than I think I should have to.

I have been trying to be a meditator since I was 18 years old.

This is a long time ago, right?

And way before there was the internet, way before there was anything, all there were were books on Buddhism.

But I resonated with them a lot.

And they all talked about meditation and they would say, you need to meditate for 30 or 45 minutes.

I would sit down to meditate and it was like the dark circus rolled into town in my head, right?

Like sitting there was really, really hard for me.

It was unpleasant.

I didn't like it.

And so I might do 30 minutes for a day, a week, maybe a month, as long as I kept my motivation sky high.

But when that motivation came down, which it inevitably does, I would quit.

And this pattern repeated itself for decades.

This is where little by little comes in.

And by little by little, I actually mean something fairly specific.

Please tell us.

I mean, low resistance actions done consistently over time in the same direction.

Now, what low resistance means will be different per person.

There are people out there who sit down to meditate and immediately will tell you, I found it so peaceful.
