I fail to meditate consistently

[Ohr Ein Sof]

Meditation doesn't have to be the stereotypical sit still cross legged silence, you can introduce other forms that get you into that state of mind, like jogging/exercising, manual labour/chores, yoga or qigong or other, playing music. It may be a good time to explore other methodologies. I know some may disagree if those could constitute as valid meditations, but it's only the personal result that matters.

I personally don't disagree with your suggestions. The things you mentioned are terrific ways to still the mind, bring it into focus and enhance concentration by being in the moment. Utimately, meditation helps with this and the processing of catalyst. Being mindful during activities it a super way to connect with the Creator. Finding that Love within the moment can be accomplished by remaining mindful in all the things we do. I think these are excellent ideas Zedro.
