I really agree with this. It's way easier to get into a rythym and just keep following a never ending checklist.

I've recently started meditation again and I'm realizing how hard something simple like remembering to pay attention to your breath is

As a third year dual major plus a minor undergrad with a research project, volunteer requirements, and other life/school duties, I'm finding I need to create a recurring "day off" to be able to maintain otherwise I start quitting on certain commitments/obligations to make up for it.
