Some people do well with traditional meditation. I don't. I love it as an idea (and have recommended it) but for me, I find working out, nature and music to be much more calming, aligning and meditative. For some people it's a very effective tool in the old mind-management toolkit but not for me. Some people get great results by sitting down with a professional and talking about their problems but I don't. I like to work through things myself. I don't pretend there's not an issue or problem but for me, talking about the problem is (typically) not helpful. And it's not that I'm against meditation or therapy (of course), it's just different things work for different people. Not good or bad, right or wrong, just different. This is a chat with Dr. Lillian Nejad about all of that.
