I hate to break it to you, but meditation will not make you feel great. If you want to feel instantly happier, then eat some chocolate or hug a dog. That will feel great. Unfortunately, those are short term solutions. Meditation will help with long-term happiness, but it is not an instant remedy. How does this work? Well, as you meditate more often and longer, you get better at acceptance. You learn to accept the silence, or your racing thoughts. Learn to accept an itch or a noise, and just let it be. This skill of accepting the present moment and not jumping up to change it, will ultimately give you more peace of mind. And that is why we are here together today: to do another little meditation to get better at acceptance.
