It’s common to struggle with concentration during meditation, especially as a beginner. When distractions arise, gently acknowledge them without judgment and bring your focus back to your breath or a mantra. Consider starting with shorter sessions and gradually increasing the duration as your concentration improves. Establishing a consistent meditation routine can help train your mind to stay focused over time. Remember, meditation is a practice, and it’s okay to have moments of distraction.

I experience the exact same thing. Some days it’s easier to "zone in" and have a clear mind, and some days it’s harder. I’ve learned that the things that come and go aren’t a bad thing. Part of the process of meditation is also mindfulness, which means that you can be intentionally aware of those thoughts and give them a 'hi' and 'bye' as they come and go. Monks train for YEARS to have a clear mind. So if you keep practising and are accepting of your thoughts, that’s exactly what meditation is.
