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

• My attention is permanently snagged on whatever might go wrong, so the small good moments slide right past me unnoticed
• When I look at an example, my eye gets grabbed by the obvious surface stuff
• I keep straining to "get into" a meditative state like awareness is something I have to switch on and aim
• I just know what this is, but if you pressed me on how I know, all I’ve got is "it feels right"
• I catch myself already mid-habit
