The problem with meditation, and similar &quot;experiences that can&#x27;t be described&quot;, is that you never know if you tried it long enough or well enough to actually enjoy it, or if it simply doesn&#x27;t work for you.<p>Working out, at least if done correctly - which can be assessed by others - will provide some benefits even if you never get to enjoy it.<p>And the loss is not just wasted time - it&#x27;s the feelings of frustration and low self-esteem that come from the perception that you&#x27;re failing without having idea how to improve.
