For years, I treated mindfulness like a to-do list item.
Do it enough. Get calmer. Be fixed.
I'd sit there trying to meditate and spend the whole time thinking I was doing it wrong. My mind wandered. I got frustrated. I gave up. Tried again. Got frustrated again.
Nobody told me that was actually the point.
Mindfulness isn't about becoming a calmer, better, more sorted version of yourself. It's just noticing what's already there. That's it. No performance. No progress review. Just - oh, I'm anxious today. My mind is all over the place. Okay.
That's it.
The relief I felt when I stopped trying to fix myself through mindfulness was enormous. Suddenly, I wasn't failing at it anymore. I was just... doing it.
You're not broken. You don't need fixing. You just need a moment to notice that.
