Mine are all over the place sometimes too. I think the key of meditation is to be able to look at those thoughts and not go into it. Just watch them as they are and try to convert your thoughts back to the breathing&#x2F;meditating<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bobby Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Totally normal. Don\u2019t try to block them. The idea is allowing thoughts to come and go, then notice when your mind wanders off, and bringing your attention back to your breath. I\u2019d recommend the guided meditation app Headspace. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Estrelita J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Definitely. However that&#39;s okay, just keep bringing your attention back. This may sound silly but I imagine my thoughts are clouds that I push away and they drift off. Sometimes I do a guided meditation if my mind gets too loud, to give myself an opportunity to reset.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sithara S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes it is normal, for me I don&#39;t fight those thoughts I welcome them look at them and reflect on them eventually my mind quiets itself<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deanna U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yes! At the beginning your thoughts will be loud and busy and all over the place! I&#39;ve heard this referred to as the Monkey Mind. Lol. But it is about gently reminding yourself to quiet your thoughts and bring your thoughts back to your breath over and over until it just starts happening naturally and easier than when you first started. It takes time but the effects are incredible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madeline Z.
