When I started out, maybe I felt my mind wandered the whole time. I don\u2019t criticize or feel bad. It is not a mistake to try to relax myself. I also have better success with recordings: it helps that someone else is in charge of giving me directions and I\u2019m just following along.

Noticing you\u2019re away and coming back, and repeating and repeating and repeating especially when there\u2019s noise and stress and worry.

Right here and right now is all I(we) have. I believe meditations and prayers to Jesus, helps me stay focused!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Irmhild Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Personally I do deep breathing exercises and try to refocus.
