Here is an approach I have learned in my 3 years of meditating every day to run a marathon or get some of the best grades in my first year of college even though I have never gotten good grades before in my life:
If you decide that you want to do something it can be helpful. It is not going to avoid work. It can only help you make your journey sustainable from a mental perspective.
The most common failure for me when I decided I wanted to do something was going all out from the start. A lot of things in life behave like a marathon not like a sprint In meditation I learned that at the start the idea is really just to get comfortable. Doing the work but not pushing myself to the edge (unsustainable).
There is no magic here. These parts are parts where one can just get through them with discipline.
The last part is about fully letting go. Letting the mind free. Not endulging nor resisting just staying with it.
