• Thinking it's boring: Some people may find the idea of sitting still and trying to clear their mind to be boring.
• Thinking it's too hard: Some people may think it's too difficult to calm their mind.
• Thinking it takes too long to benefit: Some people may think it takes years to see the benefits of meditation.
• Lack of time: Some people may feel they don't have enough time in their busy lives.
