Cant always relax

[Ether]

Sometimes I try to relax just by meditating or listening to music, sometimes im able to do 20 or 30 minutes of meditation and i still feel the same!

You say:"Oh, it doesnt work because you didnt 40." In the past I did, I felt the same.

"Oh, it didnt work because you didnt do 50." Same answer.

Sometimes I CAN relax but not always. It is usually only 30 minutes per day, the rest of the day Im numb or a little bit dissatisfied.

Could it be that you are trying to control and manipulate the situation too much? By saying "i need to relax" you already already giving in to your neurosis by setting a condition and expectations on to your meditation practice. Instead go meditate without any expectations and accept whatever happens. 

 

Yes but i dont control what thoughts pop in my head, so how can I let go of that thought "I need to relax"?

Its like tryiung to control the uncontrolable and every time or most times i do it I fail.

I dont know man, I just want lasting relaxation and peace. Thats all i ever wanted.

Btw, if i dont have the thought "I need to relax" what would be my motivation to meditate? There is certain things i want about meditation!

Wouldnt i put no effort if i let go of that thought?

Cut down on sugar intake, load up on magnesium and calming herbs.
