Dorm rooms are tricky, since they’re an essential part of your existence at school/college or university. It’s also where you spend a lot of your time, sleeping and studying. If the room is noisy when you’re trying to study, try to find a spot at a local library, if you have the option. If it’s too noisy for you to sleep, try to move within the dorm ( you may find there are floors or wings that have older or more focused students than others). Try to swop with a person who would like the noisy environment. Ultimately, it’s an important part of your life now, so it’s important to optimize as far as possible.
If you can try to mediate in a place where you feel comfortable and at peace. I would recommend as well somewhere in nature where its quiet because it feels like the habit is more important task than other habits
Noise canceling headphones would be your best option. However, regular headphones with background music/calm sounds would work well, too.
My advice is that you should try head phones ear plugs noise cancellers headphones etc but if you don’t like the feeling or just don’t like wearing ear phones i would think you could try to cancel the noise outside in your head or find a quiet space
Well use and earplug or if you don’t have then let the noise be cos you can’t control the outside .Focus only the breath in and breath out. It will be a bit uncomfortable at first but slowly you will be better
Meditation is a practice. Not an absolute rule or certain thing. Best thing to do however is to use headphones or earplugs to get some quiet as for a newer meditator the noise can be a huge distraction. For the headphones either play simplistic sounds no drums just plain tones and notes, or follow a guided meditation
Some nice over the ear headphones to really cover the sound and allow calming music or a guided meditation to drown out the noise. Also being distracted in a meditation isn’t a bad thing. I would recommend simply noting that you had become distracted and get back to whatever you were doing beforehand
You could put on headphones and listen to subliminals, meditation guides or music. If you have noisecancel headphones that would work as well.
Headphones are always an option. Try to find a sound that is not distracting from your thoughts but interesting enough to listen to for a while. Personally I like storm noises. Once you have ‘a sound’ you can slowly turn down the volume over a few days or weeks until you can naturally block the unwanted sound out. That is what I did/do and recommended to anyone. You just need to be willing to put in the effort :) good luck and I hope you find a strategy that works for you!
Hmm, I would either have earplugs with meditation music o loud that the noises don’t bother you. Or you can also use the sounds as a meditation technique. To have full focus on the sound. I guess that is easier if it’s a constant sound and not people talking, maybe. Give it a try, and good luck 🤞 🍀 Miriam 😊
