Being grateful; even if it might sound weird every time I meditate I think of what I’m grateful for which makes my mind not get distracted.
The point of meditation isn’t to get rid of the distracted mind, but rather to notice and be present in all the distractions one faces. It’s about acknowledging the rising of our thoughts without being carried away by them, noticing the way our brain reacts to external stimuli or forms thoughts of its own with no apparent origin. This can be done through an anchor point to focus the attention to, like the breath, or a simple mantra, and after a while we will be able to stay focused for longer and avoid clinging to distractions. The anchor point can be a way to easily come back to the present moment, even after we’re done with the practice.
Let the thought pass, and tell yourself it’s okay for the thoughts to pass, but you won’t go into it. It helps to focus on your breathing. Focus on how you feel as you breath in, through your nose, throat, filling up your lungs and expanding your belly and chest. And focus on how your belly and chest flatten as you breath out, the air going out your lungs through your throat and nose again. Visualizing a balloon that slowly defaltes/inflates while breathing may also help
When I am doing my homework I got distracted so I power my cell phone and listen music so I can’t hear any noise and do my homework
When i hear noises outside or someone talking it distracts me so always when I meditate I always make sure there is silence around me
Limit what distractions are around you, only meditate when nobody else is home, and out your phone in another room so you don’t feel tempted.
I would say there is no perfect way to meditate and with that being said sometimes like me I do tend to get distracted but i feel with whatever your meditating journey is I think you should take some time on not trying too hard to focus on meditating too much meaning when you do meditate try to practice opening up to yourself in this process so you can allow yourself to focus your personal journey but don’t be too hard on yourself just take one step at a time to knowing yourself and have some fun with your meditation journey also as you should know practice eventually makes perfection. 🥰
Recognise and accept that its okay that your thoughts are drifting, and bring yourself back to centre by remembering to ground yourself and focus on breathing.
It’s not hard to get distracted. The slightest movement will always be something that’ll take your mind off of meditation. But all you need to do is breathe. Breathe and close your eyes. Basically turbo off your body. Turn off your muscles, your negative thinking etc. just relax.
I think there is no perfect way to meditate so sometimes like me I do get distracted sometimes but I feel like you should take your time with whatever your meditating journey is and as you take time with all of that just try to fully open yourself to the process and with that practice you will make perfection 🥰
