Hello everyone

I am new to this site, i have been interested in Buddhism for years but have never managed to have a steady practice....

i just can't get myself to meditate! i know how beneficial it is but I have strong resistance to it (i'm the same with exercise)

I have been wondering lately whether i should push myself to mediate or just wait until my understanding creates the motivation?

i would love to hear peoples opinions

thanks in advance
