I don’t think that it’s bad to use time to create and possibly relax your mind, but I don’t think you will receive the benefits of less reactivity, increased resilience and increased compassion for self and others with allowing your mind to wander. I do think allowing for tile to create offers its own heath benefits.
I wouldn’t say bad but sometimes we can focus and relax better when we pause and stop to be in the present. Having peace of mind is a great thing to have. Relaxation can never be a bad thing, meditation is a great escape. Like everything, balance and moderation. Try mind mapping on paper to soothing music at the start of each day and end with meditation (or other way around) 😊
It is never a bad thing when you decide that being in the present in the moment isn’t working. It starts to become an issue when you begin to avoid being present all together. You seem to understand this so you shouldn’t be too worried. I would keep meditating but make sure to try other techniques to jump start creativity.
i think the most important thing here is to make sure you dont depend on meditation to make your day better or as a jumpstart. there are days where schedule will come between mediation and you’re gonna use didnt have time to meditate today as your reason for not being productive or nice to people or to not have the intention of having a good day on that particular day so, yes meditation is a medium that helps but it shouldnt be something that anchors you forever
No, it’s not bad at all. I don’t think that all things can be divided into good or bad but I can tell you that dissociation is a mechanism that your body and mind is deploying for safety! I struggle with wanting be present to; it does seem like you are using meditation appropriately and it’s okay to acknowledge that sometimes it just sucks to be present 😌
I love meditation and I feel that if it helps you do it do t not do something that works for you just because someone else doesn’t like it
No, I don’t thinks so. Though sometimes it can distract you, I doubt that that’s a thing you need to worry about to much.
I dont think you have to try to be present. That needs to happen naturally.Meditation is a good way to clear your mind off alot of things so that you can be able to focus and to stay positive throughout your day. And sometimes to relax your body muscles and to improve your breathing.
I think you’ve answered your own question. No that is not a bad thing. Do whatever works for you. Meditation is a great habit to have and however it works for you is perfect. Everyone is different.
Its not bad, actually you can use it to your advantage by getting into the “flow” state where your focus is set on one task and one task only. It comes while working and meditating can help you enter it aswell
