I find there is a difference between 1. washing dishes by hand (supposing you don't like that but it's necessary) 2.Meditating The first one is an habit you create because you need it done and you want it to be less pain. The second one, if done for the wrong purposes of just 'wanting to improve oneself' it becomes a pain, because you know you don't really need it, but you force yourself to do it anyway. Of course, if meditation is one of your strong believes, this doesn't apply, but 'meditating' because 'some people say it will improve myself and it will create an healthy habit' is noy a good goal.
