Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• Every app hands me a twenty-minute body scan and somewhere in the middle of all that sustained inward attention I come undone
• I run on autopilot from one thing to the next and only realize how wound up I am once I’ve snapped at someone
• Whatever I touch in my morning sit completely evaporates the second real life starts, and the calm stays locked in "meditation time"
• I’ll surface from a meditation realizing I drifted off ten minutes ago and was completely gone the whole time
• Whenever I try to be present I end up grading myself
