You gotta get to the point where you worry about the things you can control, and let go of the things that you can’t.
This is the way.
This is actually a big message in the dharma of the Buddha.
I used to be much more into meditation and reading Buddhist literature. I reflect on that time in my life as being happier and more peaceful (I was also exercising a lot more then too). I’ve started going to a yoga class a few times a month, but I wish I had an easier time getting back into the rest of it.
But the fact that it's not easy is a good thing. The hard thing to do is usually the right thing to do. Dealing with the negative hardship is a positive experience in the end, and avoiding the negative hardship is worse than the hardship itself.
Every moment can be done in meditation. Making time would be great but if it doesn't happen you can still give presence into whatever moment you find yourself in.
