Feel you. There's a documentary somewhere about a zen monk who says that true meditation doesn't mean sitting down, crossing your legs, and attempting to breathe deeply. It's something you should learn to do in every day life. In other words you can even meditate while watching videos or blogging if you're reminding yourself to stay aware of what you're doing and your breath. Of course, there are no final answers but it might help.
Some say that it's not enlightment that's important but rather the practice.
I get what you mean. It's something I learned once when I tried Pilates. They said breathing is part of our life: eating, exercising, talking, listening. I guess if we can't control that, it won't work when we are sitting doing nothing.
I'm surprised by the amount of people having anxiety these days. I guess our generation is just now collecting the results of just a few years connected to the internet.
