What’s a good way to focus on meditating and not on everything else?

Just come back to the breath or another chosen anchor point. Focus isn’t flawless execution. It’s simply coming back. Focus is coming back when we realize we’re distracted on anything and everything else.

I really don’t know, is the first time I’m trying to meditate. I just set the alarm and set myself in a confortable position, close my eyes and get focus on my breadth, if I feel like it, I choose a stretching position so I stretch at the same time.

Set time for meditation. Remember the benfits of meditation. Remember that it takes only few min and can be done anywhere.

I find it best to focus on a single idea or area - like your breath or a goal you have. Diving deeper into the thought while meditating is perfectly fine. It’s impossible to have no thoughts and mastery comes from being away of these other thoughts coming into your mind and bring your attention back to the idea.

Pick a set time and set it aside to sit, focus on the breath and even if your mind is busy just take the time to sit. Also try using an app for guidance - personally I like calm but others find different ones help

I choose a calm space (can even be the bathroom) and make sure I won’t get disturbed. Then... sometimes the mind is busy, sometimes it’s calm, but to know the calm is always there under the layers of stress and angst works for me - just accepting whatever state the mind is in at a given point in time. Good luck on your journey.

Hi, my recommendation would be first of all try to find a quiet time to do it, when you know you won’t be interrupted. And while you’re meditating just try to keep your mind silent, of course thoughts will come to mind, but just don’t encourage them, not even by being stressed about something distracting you. If a thought pops up just acknowledge it and let it go until you begin to get used to not having those thoughts. Don’t fight it, just let go.

I started by using an app called Ten Percent. 1. Make time. 2. Start with short periods of time like 2-5minutes per meditation session. 3. Focus on your breath. 4. If you notice your mind wandering...go back to focusing on your breath. You’ll get better and you’ll thank yourself later!

Be patient with yourself. Dont focus on how much your mind wanders. Take time to appreciate when you are able to being your focus back within. Start in a quiet room with no distractions if possible. And sit somewhere comfortable with your back up straight. I love the guided meditation coaching in the app. Good luck. Namaste
