    I can empathise with Nancy!

    My observation - part of the point of mindful meditation is accepting that there is the thought. Thoughts will come, thoughts will go.

    There will be days where your mind absolutely spams your meditation. There will be days where you start to fall asleep. There will be days where the final timer goes before you’ve been able to concentrate on your breath.

    That’s the point. The meditation is your time to do nothing else. There is nothing you need to do. Just be, and breathe.

      Also taking a walk can help. Take a walk with no phone or anything else. Just exist with your thoughts and let them pass through you. They will eventually pass.
