How do I keep going when I've lost all motivation to sit?
Answered 2026-10-17 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher
You never needed motivation to sit. You only needed to sit. Motivation is weather; it comes and goes like your mood on a Monday commute. You do not wait to feel inspired before brushing your teeth. So stop asking whether you feel like it. Lower the bar until it is almost embarrassing. Tomorrow morning, before you touch your phone, sit for three breaths. Just three. Then get up. Let that be enough, and see who shows up the next day.
This was one stranger’s question. In the app, you sit, say what is actually going on, and the teacher answers you, in a voice, privately. The first dokusan is free.
