Do you have the attention span to meditate? I mean maybe it could help ADHD if you are super interested in it so you hyper focus on it but otherwise it would be a chore.
- cyberbanjo 6y agoI identify with a lot of ADHD symptoms, and I think it's easier to find a "fun" meditation. For me that means walking-in-circle meditation, repetitious chants, and metta, and also a "some is better than none" mindset. Even 1 iteration of a chant is better than none, and takes less than a minute. I struggle with breath meditation as a "chore".
- h0l0cube 6y agoMeditation can be a chore, I think. I only persevere with it because I find that when I lapse, my life is just worse in so many ways. The least worse path I can take at the moment is meditate 2 hours a day. Though I have lapsed for weeks at a time during 'low moods'. I only reached the discipline for a 2-hour daily habit after immersing myself in 2 vipassana courses. This is probably not suitable for many people, but I was at the end of my tether and I had no choice but to succeed.
- canadianfella 6y ago2 hours per day seems crazy to me. Why is this much time required?
