How Do I Stay Motivated? with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche

Published 2024-05-20
Often, when beginning a meditation practice, we are inspired and motivated to connect with our inherent awareness, wisdom, and compassion. However, after a while, we may find ourselves feeling bored and distracted, and sometimes wonder why we started in the first place. In this monthly teaching, Mingyur Rinpoche shares “up and down” experiences with meditation and advice on how to keep it fresh and reconnect with our motivation.

    I understand what you talking about. The key is awareness. We more awareness when we are not confortable. When we confortable, we are not awareness. So be more awareness with your unconfortable. Like me is itching and tingling in my feet. So i just watch it and not judged it. And then suddenly we to be bored to that itching and tingling in my feets and my mind switch other awareness like my though who want finished the meditation, again i just watch it or to be awareness. I just watch all my uncomfortable again and again when meditation and thats make me not getting bored
  • Perfect. For the last five days I have been meditating near the spot where Buddha's foster mother attained Parinirvana. What better place. Imagine it. All the greats sat around where I sat looking on and helping Prajapati Gautami attaining Parinirvana. The spot is lovely and serene on the banks of the Ganges. Wow. The Buddha watched on, Sariputra and Mogallana watched on, Kassapa, Bhaddaji and the other disciples watched on, Visakha and Amrapali watched on, Theri Uppalavana watched on and helped Prajapati Gautami to have her last bath. The five hundred nuns were sitting around meditating. It took time. I was on that spot imagining that scene through my monkey mind as I tried to meditate. Namo Buddhay. Namaste. I hope to one day take you to Maha Prajapati Gautamies Parinirvana stupa so that you can meditate there where the Buddha sat meditating while his foster mother slowly passed away.

    Rinpoches aura is beautiful! One of the biggest things I've learned for meditation is breath control. Simply focusing on the breath going into my nose will force my body to relax and alter my focus to something positive. Don't stop meditation practice people. Yongey is an enlightened being. Even if not everything makes sense he is helping you in unseen ways. Many thanks to you!

    I actually thought about something similar while studying today, but didn't listen to myself. I always forced myself to stick to the plan, and plans never worked for me in my studies. So today I thought maybe I should change the lesson when I get bored, instead of continuing the same lesson when I can't read even one other word of it (so it's just killing time and no outcome). Your technique is also the same, you say that repetitive things get boring for us (as humans), so instead of wanting to stick to the plan, just listen to your inner self who wants new things once in a while. And of course I'll try this amazing guide in my meditations as well as my studies. ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Thank you very much. For me it's always so helpful to see that others have same kind of struggles as I do. Then I don't feel so bad about myself and I realize that all things I encounter are quite normal, and part of the path.
