Does meditation Work

I don’t feel like meditation works the way people exaggerate it to be. The stresses of life will always be on your shoulders and just by sitting down and trying to shut those things out will not just make them go away or may you happier. When we meditate in class, all I want to do is just sleep and not listen to some guy with a huge accent. You could be getting something else done in that time and staying productive. A wise coach once told me, you can rest when you die.
