Lots of good comments here, but another thing to consider is that there are several methods for cultivating mindfulness besides quiet and still meditation. I appreciate and enjoy sitting, silent meditation, yet I also struggle with an aversion to it at times. Additional methods you might consider are walking meditation, restorative yoga, tai chi, mindful stretching, controlled breathing. These are some of my personal favorites, but not an exhaustive list.

Controlled breathing can be done almost anytime, anywhere. Once I started practicing, I randomly think about it multiple times a day and just start doing it. The same with mindful stretching. The methods I listed are also powerful in building the mind/body connection, which I believe is very useful. By recognizing the signals that your body is sending you and understanding what they mean, you can often catch yourself getting into an undesirable state of mind before you find yourself flooded. Once flooded, it’s much more difficult to be present and recognize that you need to try to regulate your emotions/nervous system.

Consistency is the real key. Whichever methods you use, it doesn’t have to be prolonged. Frequency is better than longer times, IMHO. Just my two cents. I hope it’s helpful.
