I’m not specifically referring to zazen. You can’t force yourself in a sustainable way to be mindful. You can only set conditions that make it likely to happen.
The fact that beginners prefer meditation instructions that seem straightforward and easy to understand doesn’t mean that those instruction set provide you full information.
If you are constantly busy trying to do something you are maxed out. You have no free capacity.
Most of the time if we try to do 10 things at the same time we get nothing done.
I think a lot of akrasia in myself and on LW comes from being overstretched.
