The most important thing is to make sure that others can\u2019t/know not to disturb you. You\u2019re never going to find a spot that\u2019s completely free of distractions, and that\u2019s okay!
\nNo matter where you are, it\u2019s normal to get distracted. The best thing you can do is notice what distracted you, whether it was a noise or a thought or a physical sensation; notice where your attention has wondered, and gently bring it back to what you were focusing on. It\u2019s normal to feel frustrated if you find yourself getting distracted, but it\u2019s actually a valuable learning experience. Simply notice that you feel frustrated after a distraction, perhaps say to yourself that you notice frustration rising in you, but don\u2019t let it consume you. Meditation is also about training your focus, and each time you notice yourself getting distracted and bringing your attention back, it\u2019s as if you\u2019re strengthening your focus muscle.
\nTLDR: the most important thing is that nobody/nothing wants something urgent from you during your meditation and you really have the time/space for it, and you\u2019re never going to find a perfect distraction-free place. Instead, see the distractions as learning experience to strengthen your focus in the long run (and notice that your reaction to a distraction is also a distraction in itself)<\/div>\n<\/div>
