Sempre achei que não conseguia meditar porque minha cabeça não parava nunca, mas aqui entendi que isso é justamente normal e parte do processo. As explicações sobre a mecânica da meditação tiraram aquela ideia mística e tornaram tudo prático. Comecei com poucos minutos por dia e fui construindo o hábito sem pressão. Hoje, depois de algumas semanas, sento para meditar quase no automático e percebo meu estresse bem menor. O foco em criar consistência, e não em fazer sessões perfeitas, foi o que realmente funcionou para mim.
