Do something fun that energizes/inspires you, then meditate! 

 

Just a quick tip, helped a lot.

"Mediocrity is gone. Mind is clear of limitation. I seek no state of enlightenment. Neither do I remain where no enlightenment exists. Since I linger in neither condition, eyes cannot see me. If hundreds of birds strew my path with flowers, such praise would be meaningless."

@Orb Why did it help?

 

What difference did it make for you?

You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'.

The 'changeless' can be realized only when the 
ever-changing thought-flow stops.

After doing something thats fun/energizing meditation will feel like resting from that activity. There's less thinking.

 

Also the joy of what energizes you will merge with the peace of sitting and resting from that joy. Hope that made sense.

It helped to see meditation as actual rest and not chasing an idea while sitting down. 

 

It also makes it fun, try it out, the direct experience is much richer than the description 😀.
