What helps me to avoid to stay in one thought is to count backwards. I count the seconds that will take me to achieve the meditation for that day, if it is a 12 minute meditation, for example, it would mean 720 seconds, so I count from 720 to 1 and I focus on the numbers, on how they look, in my mind. This helps me focus.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Gu Bj Rg X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It used to, when I was younger, but since then I&#39;ve learned several different methods and techniques for meditation. Such as: chanting a mantra, counting my breaths from 1 to 10 and focusing on the sounds around me. Granted, there are days when I can&#39;t find peace in my mind to meditate. Those days I find guided meditations helpful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Pamela T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">hello!! for me, i personally have to do guided meditations or else my mind will wander uncontrollably due to my ADHD. i need something to keep my attention on the practice, and having a voice guide me through the practice works well!! when i use a guided meditation, my mind does still wander a bit, but i\u2019m able to reel it back in bc the voice reminds me and helps me focus \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amir X.
