Especially "do nothing" used with "strong determination sitting"

I've been meditating for a year and half now and when I was starting I used "manipulative techniques" for a long time and yeah it makes you feel aware but it also made meditation feel like a job that I have to do right or I'll fail. Then I saw Leos video about "Do nothing technique" and believe me, I felt same as you. It felt so pointless and easy and stupid, it was like "c'mon it doesn't seem like a meditation it's just a waste of time, but if Leo recommended it, I'll use it" so I continued using it daily and after a few months it's much better now! I can finally sit down and not even feel boredom at all! So don't worry, I think it's just ego wanting to control everything it can, even thoughts.
