You’re spot on about doing that. But what’s even more crucial after counting is consciously breathing inhale, exhale, and stay aware of your breath. Returning to your breath anchors you to the present moment, which trains your mind to stay present over time. Yes, thoughts will pop up, but the more you practice recognizing them (with counting and breathing), the more natural mindfulness becomes a habit rather than an effort.
Yeah, trying to force it is the wrong approach. Resistance isn’t separate from you… it’s your own energy at work. By accepting it, you reconnect with that energy instead of fighting it. You stop rejecting it and instead channel it with intention. From there, focusing on what you want, positive feelings, love, or whatever—builds momentum and creates a new, self-sustaining pattern.
I don’t see resistance as external; it’s all internal, a reflection of what’s happening inside you. The resistance you feel often comes from your own subconscious limits or boundaries, which is why it feels like a barrier. But viewing resistance as ‘bad’ only makes it harder to work with.
Resistance is a natural and essential force; it’s what maintains order in your life. It keeps your changes stable and protects your being. When you create or manifest something new, resistance arises as a counterforce to ensure the change is integrated safely. Embracing resistance as part of the process allows you to align with it, using it as fuel for creation rather than something to fight against.
Oh shit right
I forgot to do that
That’s right habitation should help a lot. Will do
I’ve been noticing the last few days
Unless I’m still and not moving around much no thoughts pop up, but once I’m doing sth I have to do, for example chores and move from place to place thoughts just randomly keep coming up, it’s like an tsunami compared to a stream xD
Hmmm. I see. How does one go about accepting, reconnecting and channeling it with intention, use it as a fuel for creation as you say. Could you elaborate on a practical example
Naahh it was a joke, had to laugh about my joke myself, thanks to the guided path
So back, I will try this technique now. Always felt like my abbused mind/ brain is too broken for getting a silent mind, even after 5 years of periodically meditating.
Nice, hope I will find a clicker in the town😅
Edit: hope this will help me with my problem around people. I always lose focus of a conversation very fast. In the first few minutes my mind begins to wander far away and when I recognize it, I hope that no one recognizes that I’m not there really. It happens really often and if I had a conflict in the past, even if it’s resolved memories of these fights or the reasons pop up. Not strongly, but it catches me most times and I feel bad about.
