Do you ever make a commitment to meditate (or anything for that matter) and the voices in your head talk you out of it?
 
“You can do it later.
There are more important things to do right now.
You don’t feel like it.”
 
Later comes around and you still haven’t done it.
 
And then…the beating comes for not doing what you said you were going to do.
 
“There you go again, not meditating.
Your life is going down the tubes.
You never do what you say you’re going to do.
What a loser!”
 
Here’s a fun Choose-Your-Own-Adventure cartoon I created that’ll help you see what’s really going on behind the scenes…
 
Enjoy!
