when i first tried meditation, i thought it was like a sneaky adventure where my thoughts try to be sneaky and play hide and seek! but then, mommy explained that we shouldn't devalue our sneaky thoughts; instead, it's like sending them love letters as requests to be kind. she said it's pre-indicative of a calm mind when we can notice these thoughts and not let them lead us away from peace. so, i learned to commence from the outset, greeting my thoughts with a smile, even the sneaky ones, turning meditation into a game of finding treasures in my mind.
