I don’t think meditating is only sitting down on a cushion, eyes closed, and counting your breath saying “ommmm”. It sounds like the nature walks and the drawings you do is your own form of meditation. My life has changed for the better due to actually sitting down on a cushion, eyes closed, counting my breath (and occasionally chanting “ommm”), but westernkat is absolutely correct: “one size does not fit all when it comes to meditation” and I commend you for finding activities that bring you happiness in whatever form they may come in.

I’ve always been of the mindset that my true friends accept me and my choices without trying to change me; otherwise they are not truly friends with ME as I am, they are friends with the image of me that they want to mold me into. You state that you are already in a good place, please don’t let anyone take that away from you by trying to force you onto their path.

Have a wonderful day Sea Monkey.
