In meditation, coming back to your breath is the practice itself 🫧
Not Zero
It seems the goal of meditation is not zero thoughts.
Come Back
When your mind wanders, you come back to your breath. Coming back again and again is meditation itself.
⚡ TRY IT
Come back to the breath
20 seconds of meditation. Thoughts will come by themselves. That is OK!
Lunch… what should I eat?
Did I lock the door?
I should reply to that message…
What was the baseball score?
Coffee sounds good…
Am I doing this right?
You are already here. 🙂

Every comeback is one practice. Focus time is not even counted! 🙂
Running Too
Running is the same: the goal can be "getting good at starting again the day after you skip."
Every Return
Each time you come back is one more practice.
