Go with the flow and give yourself the gift of 10 minutes a day in quietness.

When I try to meditate, my mind just talks and talks. I try to clear my mind of all outside influences, and what tends to happen is that I clear my mind of everything except obsessing about my husband. Hah! Hey, me, too.

I tell everyone I practice meditation and even go to a "meditation group" every Tuesday, but I'd rather be out in the woods with my dogs than on a damn cushion. I continue to try and "sit" because I really want to meditate in that way - I just hate it, that's all. Ha! Thanks for the honesty. You make me laugh!

And like you I find movement helps. I happily justify that by embracing the Buddhist idea of 'walking meditation'. Good for you for finding what works. I suck at it, too.
