13 Very Good Reasons Not to Meditate

1. Who has the time?! There are much more important things to do like obsessively check Facebook, ironing, and watching TV.
2. It’s really hard to switch your mind off. And nothing worth doing was ever worth practicing.
3. I’ve never even heard of anything remotely useful that would help you switch your mind off (*cough* meditones *cough cough*)
4. Caves are dank and gross! Who would want to sit in one AT ALL?!
5. Orange robes are for sissy’s and there’s NO WAY I’m shaving my head.
6. Boriiiiing!
7. I like feeling like shit.
8. It’s easier and way more fun to relax in other ways - like eating, drinking and smoking.
9. Sitting still is tedious and hurts my bum.
10. Life is too stressful. I need to fix everything before I can stop to meditate.
11. YOU try meditating when you’re surrounded by 3 kids / a looming deadline / a tonne of paperwork / peak hour traffic / insert generic pressure point here!
12. It’s New Age hippy nonsense. Where’s the science that proves the so called ‘benefits’?
13. I tried it once and it didn’t work.
