Meditation

I went outdoors to meditate and at the beginning I was feeling a little bored. I tried to find something interesting to observe but I was struggling.
The first 10 minutes were the worst because I wasn´t well adapted to my new and quit environment. I started to deal with my contemplation situation and I think that 30 minutes weren´t enough. My real and true contemplation started to come like at the 20 or 25 minute. I started to think lots of things about my life. The common things like any assignment missing for school, homeworks, what I was going to do when I got home, and simple errands that Thoreau would hate. He hated that humans had a busy agenda because to find ourselves we need to have time to think and breath in, our life.
In my meditation, I could see some birds flying around and resting above the electricity wires. According to my interpretation, they were playing with each other and fighting for a piece of food. When they got down to the ground, sometimes, they gave little hops, and that was really cute. I´ve never spent so much time observing simple birds´ life.
When the 30 mins were about to finish, I felt kind of in peace with myself, compared to how I was feeling before the 30 min meditation. I felt more calmed, not stressed, less accelerated. I felt like life gives us a lot of time to reflect upon our acts and our thoughts, that we shouldn´t be rushing all the time to complete was expected for us. For example in school, we have lots of assignments due the same day and we sometimes feel stressed. Feeling stressed won´t help at all. Either you can do it, or you can´t. We shouldn´t force ourselves too much.
In general I enjoyed doing this and I think  I should do it more often. I need time with myself. Not cheking my phone constantly or thinking on something entertaining (vain) to do.
I feel that the internet doesn´t let us concentrate with ourselves and have a quiet and peaceful time with our minds. We always need to check facebook or instagram. I know that at the beginning it´s hard to meditate and reassure ourselves but if we keep practicing it, then it will be much easier and even form part of our daily or weekly schedule.
