One thing I cannot do with meditation is clearing my mind. When I go for a walk (alone) my mind fills quickly with all kinds of things. Same thing when I go for a bike ride, or when I take a shower. This often triggers the eureka effect. (The whole point of "walking away (from your screen)")
The way I clear my mind, or at least relax my brain, is by watching simple entertainment like TV shows and movies.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Michiel.
watching TV shows or movies is really nice for relaxing our mind.
But if you really do meditation, you can feel how it is great.
You said that when you go for a walk, your mind fills quickly with all kinds of things..right?
In this case, I would like to suggest you some if you don't mind.
In meditation, we need practice.
As example, Let's say you are a table tennis player.
if you've practiced table tennis so well, you can predict table tennis ball trajectory in every time you play in the field.
If you don't practice, it is hard to predict about the ball trajectory because it is jumping from one to another.
Same with that example, you need to practice meditation by giving its own time.
Give some time to do only meditation.
Then, practice.
Once you've passed some meditation times, you can predict what you are thinking in wherever you are.
It is just a suggestion for you from me.
But you know, sometime we need some relaxing things like watching movies or TV shows. So, keep it simple.
