The mind will often turn against you when you want to start something new, but it's important to not struggle for too long. Instead, take a break, leave the house without your phone, and go for a walk in your neighborhood. Then, lay out a simple plan to make it through the next hour without overwhelming yourself. The key is to focus on the next right step and avoid making a to-do list for the entire day, as it can lead to procrastination. By repeatedly asking yourself 'What is the next best step?' you can establish a meditation practice and move forward effectively.
