My Mindfulness Struggles - Expectations and Goals

Welcome to another week here at A Little Peace and Quiet.com! All this week I am sharing some of my biggest struggles, hurdles and challenges when I was learning how to meditate. I hope that by sharing these, I might make your path a little smoother! When I first sat down to meditate, I had already set up massive expectations for the future, like "When I'm enlightened, my life will be like this..." I had goals, I had ways to measure progress and I completely ruined it! The result? I felt like a failure, I wanted to quit (I did several times actually) and the story that I wasn't good enough found its way into meditation too. If I had realised what to do with all those expectations, beliefs and goals, things might have been a little simpler, and so I offer you today's class. I hope it brings out a little more of the peace that's already inside, right now. Enjoy! Oli Doyle
