I'm making a better effort to meditate, but I don't know if I'm doing it right. Focusing on my breathing and releasing thoughts is hard and if I relax too much, I fall asleep.

If you have related issues when meditating, have you found better ways to meditate or alternatives that give you similar results?

      That was incredibly validating. Thank you!

      I was just about to mention Dr. K! The first time I saw meditation that wasn't just "sit in silence with your eyes closed and clear your mind" was when he had wow xQc (one of the most ADHD human beings on the planet) do a meditation where he stood up and raised & lowered his arms in sync with his breathing. Really broadened my view of what meditation could look like, since I'd only ever done the "standard" kind and it never really worked for me.

      Haven't seen the video before, but I'll be sure to give it a listen on my next walk! Dr. K is easily one of the best communicators I've ever seen on mental health.
