First one, I focus on the flow of air&#x2F;breath entering and exiting my lungs. Second one, I count the breath going in and the one going out. When I get to 10 I restart it.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it\u2019s normal for your mind drift away. The only way to make a difference is by practicing everyday, because just like with working out, change takes time.
