View submission: Conflicted about Zen Buddhism in general
Hey man, this might not be the answer you were looking for, but therapy is helping me with unmotivation and lack of joy generally. I also have a daily meditation practice, built upon necessity basically, addiction issues etc.
I think the less you think about it, the better. If you really want to meditate, you will. If you really want to get a taste of meditation, then keep practicing. Consistency is key. 10 minutes per sitting is fine. If you do it most days, momentum will build, and you will eventually want to sit and meditate for yourself.
I started using the Waking Up app, using guided meditations to encourage me, and to make sure that i am meditating correctly. I picked a long course with 30 minute sessions, and i think i've sat with each session 8 or more times. It helps keep me grounded and helps point me to the subtler aspects of meditation.
