I have been trying to figure out if meditation is for me. I attempted to meditate after reading about it online. 
>I should not think. I am thinking about not thinking, is that thinking? My leg itches. How long will this take? Did I remember to switch the light off? What will I make for lunch? Too much thinking. They said I should focus on breath, inhale, exhale. Am I doing that right? Am I breathing ok? When will I become enlightened? I wonder how much time had passed. I have to do that report for my boss tomorrow. I hate my boss. This is not working. Meditation is useless, I give up

Yep, that's me you just described. I gave up quickly after a couple attempts. Your post is timed perfectly. This is very educational! I will spend some time reading the previous posts you have included. Thank you for much for the great info.

hihihi, yeah, I knew that some people will recognize themselves in that. It was the same for me when I first started. It does get easier with practice and I am sure you will start to enjoy meditation pretty soon, I have a good feeling about it, trust me. Enjoy it and follow your intuition, see where it leads you. Thank you for your lovely response 💚
