This episode delves into the common feeling of being 'too busy' to meditate. In a world that values productivity, it's easy to overlook activities that don't directly contribute to tangible outcomes. However, meditation is an activity that can positively impact our well-being, and it's important to make time for it.

There's a cheeky Zen proverb that goes like this: “If you don’t have time to meditate for 20 minutes, then you should meditate for an hour.”

This proverb teaches us two big things:

1. Make time for yourself and your practice, even if it's just a few minutes!

2. Challenge the excuses you make for not meditating and critically examine the reasons why.

Meditation in not another to-do. It's a practice that can help anchor us to something stiller and quieter, amidst the busyness of our lives.

When the waters are still, we can see clearly. We approach life in a more skillful way.
