It\u2019s a challenge! Just accept the noise and discomfort. Acknowledge it. Listen for all the noises you can hear \u2014 loud ones. Soft ones. Your own breathing.

I have been doing everything l can to help.  When l first got here and l am still struggling a little with the time zone change and the jetway. So l haven\u2019t really been able to fine a quiet place to meditate, there\u2019s moments l have closed my eyes and reflect in all the good around me.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Julian Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do one of two things (sometimes both), if it\u2019s too noisy I tend to meditate whilst wearing noise cancelling headphones or I meditate first thing in the morning or late at night when everyone in my household is asleep.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ronnie T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I close my eyes, visualize a great meditative session&#x2F;place, and quiet my mind for a few minutes. If things are literally coming AT me, I breathe through it and to keep from being disappointed or even derailed for the day, I make an appointment with myself for a later session that day instead of morning! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ruben X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I cannot find a quiet place, I block any nise out with calming music or let it continue and learn how to tolerate the noise of regular life and even enjoy it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Deborah Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I meditate anyways. Use the waking up meditation app by sam harris. He talks a fair bit about what meditation is really about, about sounds and meditating in public places. X<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Susie U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Headphones or earplugs to help calm the noise with sunglasses on in my car or work truck.<\/p>\n<p>But first I plan to make time to have breaks so I am less likely to not be able to find a quiet space<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Johanne C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Focus inward and let sounds from your environment wash over your meditation practice as background noise, not the soundtrack.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ernest Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do a sound meditation, focusing on and using the noise around me. This works when writing too. Documenting every sound around me brings me into presence and calms me. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jesse W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Allow the sounds to be a part of your meditation! Notice them, notice how you feel about them, notice when you forget to notice them. Everything can be your practice. \ud83d\udc95<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabella Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start focusing on my breath, even with my eyes opened. This helps me come back to balance no matter where I am. Counting the breaths also helps.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Diedrich C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">As long as it&#39;s a safe place, it doesn&#39;t need to be quiet. Find a table at a cafe or a spot on a park bench or just sitting at your desk. If you listen to and accept the sounds around you and connect to your breath, you can meditate anywhere. And dont worry about looking strange, you won&#39;t.<br \/>\n Good luck!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Elouan Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I look for it.<br \/>\nI do stop any activity and I look for a perfect Place where to be with myself&#8230;<br \/>\nI need that Moment and I santi it&#8230;for me! \ud83d\ude04<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Linda N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I do something like hearing songs or drinking tea. Or you can also exercise as your meditation because it can release stress<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ma Wenn E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I work at a hospital and I don\u2019t have a routine because it doesn\u2019t depend on me, so I decided to begin with a little task that could start a good habit. My intention is that it can motivate me to meditate, in the future, anywhere at anytime. Considering that and that I have always had trouble for disconnecting, relaxing and sleeping, I have decided to meditate every night after competing all my tasks, already in my bed.  I don\u2019t sleep while meditating because I try to extract the best of it. Therefore I set for different minutes every day depending on how I need to relax and how tired I am. As I have learned here, it is better to take small steps and reach the goal than try to reach the moon and stop at the first one. It has worked for me in any type of mood and difficult day  that I have had and even in illness. So, what I feel is that it doesn\u2019t come with a fixed solution. It depends much more on knowing your strengths and faults and being totally honest and comprehensive with yourself. I am really trying to teach  this to myself and have been much happier since that approach has come to my life. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tim Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I consider meditation a chance to practice finding my calm center even amidst chaos. Being in a noisy place is a challenge, and helps me refine my focus skills even more *because* it&#39;s difficult. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Christian F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I sometimes head to the washroom and have a 2-3 minute breathing break. It helps to settle the mind until you can find a quiet space and a bit more time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teodemiro C. Try meditating anyway.
