Is there any point

[Alexo45]

If i have to force myself to meditate? I can't seem to enjoy it anymore.
Lately i'm just sitting there, can't really focus, and i'm just waiting for the timer to go off.

Yes, there is a point, but take a break from meditating if it feels so laborious. And when you start again, start small, like only 5 minutes if you have to.

I wouldn't take a break from meditating

You can do a different technique that is new and exciting for you

You can decrease or time or split your 30 minutes into 2x15 minute sits

You can understand that your resistance to meditation is precisely what is making you grow.  When you are lifting a heavy weight, if it is not laborious for you then you need to either do more reps or more weight otherwise you are not going to grow.

Keep meditating...does the ENTIRE meditation feel laborious?  There are certainly periods of calmness and tranquility during your meditations.

Keep it up! DON'T QUIT instead try to change it up

Isn’t the motive behind why we want to meditate to be in a timeless state? 

Dont these popular methods of meditation imply concentrated effort? 

Isnt that what one is trying to get away from when engaging in this activity? 

To be in a state where the “me” ceases 

It seems that focus, concentration, and control is the opposite of what is needed to to inhabit this timeless state where the self is not. 

This movment of concentration, focus, and a centered focal point in a particular direction implies thought. 

And when we move within the realm of thought the timeless can not be approached.
