In this short monologue, the speaker shares their personal meditation journey of roughly three years, emphasizing a daily, informal practice rather than formal mastery. They challenge a common misconception that meditation requires an empty mind, arguing that thinking is natural and that meditation is more about self‑reflection and becoming familiar with one’s thoughts. The speaker likens the process to unpacking a mental email inbox, clearing out and organizing thoughts to achieve mental clarity.

Yeah, I mean, I've been meditating for about 3 years, just like doing little sessions. I mean, I'm not like a Zen master by any means, but I just try to do it every day, you know? I think the biggest misconception with meditation too is like, "Oh, I can't do it because I think about things." Like, everyone thinks about things. That's not meditation though, you know?

So it's really just becoming familiar with yourself Having those thoughts come in and go out. That's kind of what it is for me, right?

Getting rid of all those thoughts and really just clearing it out.
