Everyone sometimes experiences restlessness or stress when meditating. When you struggle to keep your focus on meditation, it often has to do with being a little nervous, worried, or simply wanting to get on with other things. The great thing about meditation is that it is a mirror of yourself. When you stop your busy life for a few minutes by sitting quietly for a few minutes, you may suddenly become aware of all the nervous energy and the thoughts that cause stress all the time. You may find that you are sitting in a kind of standby mode on the chair, ready to leave, have something to eat, send an app or check your email. This is a valuable experience in meditation, because you can recognize this now without doing anything with it right away. The trick is just to perceive the restlessness. So without going along with it and without judging it in right or wrong.
