The Devoted Student: Why One Practice Beats a Hundred

If you've ever cycled through meditation apps, techniques, and challenges without feeling like anything is actually sticking, this episode is for you. We're talking about what it really means to go deep in your practice, and why your nervous system craves repetition and return far more than variety. You'll learn why boredom in meditation is usually a sign you're right at the edge of a breakthrough, not a signal to switch things up. By the end, you'll have a simple framework for choosing one anchor practice and a reason to actually stay with it. This one might change the way you think about your entire relationship to practice.
