Human: I’m just too stressed. These decisions are too much for me I don’t know how to handle it.

Human: *reads article about meditation course*
Soul: HOLY CRAP YES PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE JUST TRY IT. Puhhhleeeeeze!

Soul: *facepalm* The only way you fail at meditation is by not starting.
Human: Ok. So here I am. Me and myself. Now what.
Soul: Hi you. I know you. I’m so glad we’re here together. There are so many things I’ve wanted to say.
Human: I CAN’T CLEAR MY MIND I’m such a failure. Why do I even bother?
Soul: Oh my gosh. Seriously? You’re here! It’s ok if you get distracted! I’ll pull you back! And every time I do it’s a teeny little win. Good for you.
Human: I can do 5 minutes. I can do this.
Soul: YES. YOU. CAN. You’re doing it – you’re here. I wanted to tell you something really important.
