Focus Tips
Cannot Start a Meditation Habit
Build a simple daily mindfulness practice.
The Problem
You know meditation would help your focus, but sitting still feels impossible and your mind races. You try once, get frustrated, and abandon it, assuming you are "bad at meditating."
Strategies to Overcome It
- 1Start with just 2 minutes — too short to refuse.
- 2Use a guided app so you are not figuring it out alone.
- 3Anchor it to an existing habit like morning coffee.
- 4Expect wandering thoughts; returning is the practice.
- 5Track a streak to build identity as "a meditator."
Your 2-Minute Action
Set a 2-minute timer, sit comfortably, and focus on your breath. When your mind wanders, gently return. That is a complete session.
