I struggle keeping myself concentrated with meditation, how can I overcome that? Thx

You can listen to calming music or even get a YouTube video that takes you through mediate and then you get do it on your own. Always ask yourself questions about how you feel or you day when you are feeling peaceful so your brain can focus on something while you mediate

Thoughts will come and go during meditation, but instead of focus on that as if it was a problem, notice it when it comes for a couple of seconds and label it (label: thinking - for example)and bring always your mind back to meditation every time with calm. Also you could imagine a bag where you put them and label the bag closing it, then back to meditation. Sometimes I also imagine thoughts like balloons and I watch them flying away while going back on my meditation session

Here are some things that can help your concentrate while mediating 1,find a quite place 2,put on some quiet music 3,write down somethings that are on your mind 4, do at least for 30 minutes

Listen to your breath, feel it, how it flows through your body. Cold in and warm out. Your thoughts should be concentrated on it. Everything else doesn’t matter at the time.

Hi there. What I normally do is, I don’t just sit down and listen to relaxing music. I first write in my journal about my day and also write what I liked and didn’t like. Then I go and put a turn a candle on (but turn of all the lights in your room). I Go to my happy place and meditate. I hope this helped

I struggle with this too. I used to be a lot better and then fell out a practice. And that’s what it is, practice. The more you practice, the easier it becomes. When you are meditating and you notice your mind has wandered, don’t berate yourself, which is easy to do, just gently bring your attention back to the focus of your meditation. In time this will become easier and easier

Start by going for at least 5 minutes. Keep going at it for about 2-3 weeks. Afterwards, make it 10. Then 15 after another few weeks. Then keep it going until you get towards however long you wanna meditate for daily. It’ll you don’t quite hit it at that exact time, do it sometime during the day. If not that day, do it tomorrow on the time you said you would do it. Keep it consistent and keep being persistent

I suggest whole you meditate try to take deep breaths through your nose and exhale from your mouth. It’ll keep you focused on the task at hand but also keep you focused on why you are doing it.

I hold a candle in my hands so I’m focusing all my thoughts and other things on this candle. Or I meditating when I’m in the right mood.

I can over come that by cutting off all connections to society when I meditate. Whether that be my phone my family my tv, whatever it takes to concentrate on nothing but meditation!
