Why do we squirm away from meditation? It is because the personality (ego identity) recognizes it isn’t in charge. When it isn’t in charge it fabricates ways to get back in charge. So, just tell that part it can go take a nap while you meditate for 5 minutes (for beginners) 10 minutes or 30 minutes. whatever your time frame. Just do it.
