Hi brothers and sisters.
I have a question I’m need help answering.
I was wondering, Why is it I can go to the gym everyday or I would go everyday if my body let. But I can’t meditate or do yoga everyday? I’m soo frustrated. I’ve been gyming doing muay thai and now bjj for a year but I can’t meditate or do yoga for even a week. It’s pathetic. Can someone please show me a way I really want to meditate and do yoga everyday like how I can gym. And I’ve been an SS for 8 years. I k ow good things take time but isint this a bit much?
Yes it is a bit much. You have to understand that you have a set amount of energy and discipline within a given day. If you are tired after work and the gym, you will have less time for meditating, for example.
It also needs to be understood that you have some areas of your soul and life that you can more easily express this motivation, discipline, as well as other energies (knowledge), etc.
So in some ways it is natural to feel more bored by meditation than other activities, but this can be helped either by continuing to do the activity, or by explicitly doing a working to increase productivity in that area. This would make you more likely to do meditation, just as you can easily go to the gym.
Here are examples of this:

By the way, remember that your spiritual practices should always be your first priority. If you are going to pull off a working, or make serious progress otherwise, you need to be meditating daily. Going to the gym should be a lesser priority, and should relegated to perhaps going 3 times a week, or perhaps less time each session.
If you can already go the gym everyday, then it should be decently easy for you to do yoga everyday, as this is simply an extension of physical exercise. If you are wondering, yes yoga does speed up muscular recovery and will complement your gym training very well. I had found a website of a guy who had talked a lot about this before, for example.
