Tara,

Lamrim + analytical meditation sounds like a great tool to form solid motivation to begin/keep practicing.

The crucial stage of making progress is to develop regular practice. And regular means "cast in stone" regular. try to combine your practice with something, that you already do regularly for years, might be something really simple like brushing your teeth in the morning or taking a shower. Attach your desire to practice to that and it will be much easier.

The first chapter of the book i linked above goes into depth on developoing a practice, might definitly be worth your time.

alright, it is cushion time rigth now.
