OMG I love your writing!!! So glad i stumbled upon it. 100% agree with the ads on meditation youtube videos, although I have a sneaky feeling my meditation instructor would probably say the annoyance at the ad and loss of mindfulness is also a meditation object in and of itself.

Thank you Clare. That really means a lot :)

Ugh you are right.... I should view those ads as just another part of my practice.

The calm app or the headspace app are really great for getting into meditation, and no ads!

You're right. I've used both but I think you have to pay for them now? I'm too cheap for that haha

YouTube ads are the worst. Trying to hold off upgrading as long as possible. They will probably break me at some point.

What's even worse is when I specifically search for a meditation with no ads and they still sneak some in!!

Just requested The Undoing Project at the library — had never heard of it, but it sounds fascinating!

I think you'll really enjoy it. Let me know what you think! I've read three of his books so far and they've all been great.
