Bias warning here - I am pretty pro-meditation.
I do think meditating and becoming comfortable with "nothing" is important to enjoying activities. If you can enjoy not just eg hiking but also the car ride to the hiking and packing your bag, then hiking as a whole has become enjoyable.
- andai 4y agoAgreed! In my experience the increased enjoyment comes both from being present and noticing things you wouldn't if you were lost in thought (eg. birdsong, butterflies), as well as learning to catch yourself yourself going through unnecessary/unpleasant thinking, and learning to just let that go and rest in the field of direct sensory experience.
