The problem wasn’t that we don't try hard enough. It's more about how the rules are created by someone who have never walked in our shoes.

You don't have to follow the same habits of successful people and follow them the exact same way they do it. Like meditation, everyone has a different time and way to meditate. It's not just about clearing your brain. It's about slowing processing all those thoughts which are itching at the back of your head. 

Start asking yourself questions like: What soothes you?

It might be going on a walk. Or visiting an art museum. Maybe you enjoy watching the shifting clouds.

For some people, that soothing moment might be found in a place of worship, or while staring at the moon.
