About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of sticking to one meditation practice for deeper benefits and understanding.

If you've ever cycled through meditation apps, techniques, and challenges without feeling like anything is actually sticking, this episode is for you.

You'll learn why boredom in meditation is usually a sign you're right at the edge of a breakthrough, not a signal to switch things up. By the end, you'll have a simple framework for choosing one anchor practice and a reason to actually stay with it. This one might change the way you think about your entire relationship to practice.
