Meditation bores me. It actually feels more like stress and work while nothing is happening and I don't benefit from it.
Similar applies to yoga, but at least it has some effects on me: I fall asleep during the relaxation part. Also afterwards, I feel calm like being stoned. Actually feeling stoned.
I tried doing yoga for some months, but It wasn't my thing.
The concept of mindful meditation, where you focus on how you are feeling and what is going on around you works for me as a short burst to reset myself when I notice my brain is all over the place. I can't sit still and do it for any length of time, but if I'm fidgety or uncomfortable and don't know why it is a way to kind of reset myself and address the things that I'm distracted from noticing.
The attempts to try and do structured meditation for anything longer than a minute or two was absolutely painful!
