In the guided meditation I do, the recording says \u201cacknowledge the distractions, know that it is there, and then move on\u201d and that is what I try to do. When I notice there is a thought I kind of say hi to the the thought, and then try to focus on my breathing. I guess it is not that I don\u2019t get distracted, it\u2019s that I try to concentrate again in what I am doing at the moment. Focusing on the breathing helps a lot, and also repeating a mantra or a positive thought.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ladislaus J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to put my hand on my heart so that I can feel my heartbeat, that way when my mind starts to wonder I just focus on my heart beat (how many beats are there?
