Today we’re investigating how to practice mindfulness meditation  when we feel it is too hard or not possible. Or some other difficulty arises and gets in the way.Mindfulness is key to managing the difficulties and challenges of life. It is how we are in the world. It can be difficult to be mindful. We practice mindfulness meditation so that our mindfulness strengthens, deepens, and opens our hearts.Sometimes it is difficult to meditate. We have pre-conceived ideas about what it is and how well we can do it. Our confidence may be low or missing. Our inner critic may be letting us know all the reasons why we can't do it.The key is to recognize the difficulty that is arising and then to use tools to help you over the difficulty. That's what this podcast is all about.This week, I invite you to start where you are. Begin again whenever you need to. If you are meditating for one minute you you get distracted 10 times or 20 times, it doesn’t matter. No one is watching, judging, or keeping track. Simply notice and begin again. Befriend yourself. You are worth it.The guided meditation this week is a mindfulness of breath meditation. It is on the podcast’s members’ page at www.patreon.com/yourmindfullife.I hope you enjoy the podcast.
