Not some mystical, magical, hyper-specific, ultra-secret YouTube technique — just plain ol’, sit-your-ass-down-and-breathe meditation >> I thought I was broken because I could not follow the meditations that were pushed to me. Then I was advised to just breathe and try to quiet your mind, and keep at it until it works for you. Thanks for reinforcing that it is that simple.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Seriously, it means the world to hear that this resonated with you.

You’re not broken—far from it. The truth is, all those overcomplicated, one-size-fits-all meditation techniques make most people feel like they’re failing at something that’s supposed to be natural. It’s like trying to run a marathon when all you need to do is learn how to walk again.

I love that you’ve found what works for you and that you’ve stuck with it. That’s the key: consistency over perfection.

Keep at it, and don’t forget to celebrate how far you’ve already come. You’re doing amazing, and I’m so glad this article reinforced what you already know deep down—it really is that simple.

Keep breathing,

Alex

Breathing and quieting your mind? That’s the foundation. That’s where the real magic happens—not in some flashy technique or “expert” routine. I love that you’ve found what works for you and that you’ve stuck with it. That’s the key: consistency over perfection.
