How to balance life and Dhamma

Hello everyone, I’ve been wanting to meditate and train my mind for a long time, but I haven’t been able to commit to that because I’m still a student so I have to study and work on projects.

I wish I could fully dedicate all my time to practicing the Dhamma, but I can’t do that right now, so I feel sad. It’s also hard to put my heart and soul into my studies because I like listening to the Dhamma a lot and I sometimes get distracted by it and not do what I’m supposed to do. What I truly want to do is to practice the Dhamma and strive to achieve success in meditation.

I’ve been wanting to just practice the Dhamma since I was in high school. Now I’m in college and I’m still waiting for the day when I can just focus on meditating and practicing the Dhamma.

If you’re new to meditation, start small. Try 5 or 10 minutes and see how it goes. As your mind gets used to it, you can make the sessions longer. You can totally fit this into your busy life. A little bit of meditation is better than none at all. And if you’re already meditating, keep up the good work! Your practice will deepen over time.
