I hear so many people these days telling me they are having trouble with focus and that meditation does not work for them because they get too easily distracted. If this sounds like anything you have experienced, you are not alone.
What most people who try meditation do not understand is that this is normal and part of why meditation is so helpful.
If you meditate for 20 minutes and get distracted, say 50 times with random thoughts, and every time you do, you bring yourself back to your breath or the movement (if it is a movement practice), you are getting better at taking disturbances out of your mind.
Now imagine if you do this every day.
By incorporating a short daily ritual into your daily routine and integrating some active practices you will see incredible results.
Remember the key is consistency the meditative arts are meant to be a way of life not a hobby we use occasionally. The great thing is that you don’t have to retire to a cave and meditate for the next 9 years to see many of the benefits.
