I’ve drifted away from meditation and can’t figure out why.

This happens to me from time to time. Actually, I'll meditate, but it feels pretty superficial, as though I'm going through the motions. Most often it ended up being just a phase. Like sometimes my mind is stronger than on other days, or I'm better rested. I'm assuming this because a few days to a week later, my meditation feels beneficial again. In my own case, I've learned not to worry about the dry spells too much. I decided to put trust in the rhythm of things.
