The #1 Myth That Makes 95% Quit Meditation (It's Not What You Think)

Are you battling a racing mind every time you sit to meditate? You’re not alone—up to 95% of new meditators abandon the practice within a year, largely because they think a “blank mind” is the goal.

In this video we’ll expose the myth that real meditation means zero thoughts—and show you why having thoughts is normal, healthy, and even beneficial. Stick around to learn a simple reframe that keeps you on the cushion long enough to harvest the real benefits.

⏰ TOPICS
— Why 95% quit before year 1
— The grocery-list spiral we all know
— Myth revealed: “Total thoughtlessness = success”. WRONG
— Pop-culture images that fooled us
— What thoughts are really doing during practice
— Ocean & cloud metaphors for mental waves
— Rescue plan when thoughts flood in
— Classic failure loop (and how to break it)
— LIVE session invite + Q&A details

🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Thoughts ≠ failure—they’re the mind emptying itself.
Meditation trains you to ignore thoughts, not suppress them.
Gently returning to lightness in your heart is success; every “wandering-and-return” rep is a mental push-up.
