While being slightly disappointed after meditation

[Dude]

Wow, yeah not sure I would enjoy reading if it was like that for me. But it's not like it's a huge deal, I wouldn't stress over not being able to do it.
Wow isochronic tones while reading!!! I used to use those, I don't think I could do that while reading! Sounds pretty hardcore lol. Audiobooks sounds easier to do it with I guess,

Yeah, it was pretty hardcore. I should have mentioned that I have horrible concentration issues... I often lose my place, forget what was just happening and have to re-read the last section, etc. That also attributed to my lack of reading. These problems bleed into my real life, where I often lose focus when someone is talking to me - which makes carrying on a conversation kind of difficult sometimes. I think I was trying the tones while reading as a way to force myself into staying alert and pay attention, while my brain waves slow and fight back the alertness.

The tones with audiobooks is much better... Last night I made myself restart the chapter every time I lost focus and my mind wandered. Let's just say I didn't get very far into the book, and it was a long session.... So, in a way, it may help teach me to do an actual meditation as it builds my concentration. I also got a lot of random, sometimes hilarious images coming at me while trying to focus on visualizing the action of the book. It was a very neat experience.
