I found it very difficult to concentrate today on my body scan meditation. I found my mind wondering often and it was very difficult to follow the instructions for the body scan meditation. I found myself falling in and out of sleep and even when I was awake I was too preoccupied with thoughts about problems with my home and about returning to work. On the bright side, I was able to complete the 45 minute exercise and I now know what not to do so that I'll be able to do the body scan meditation more comfortably next time.
The 10 minute breathing exercise was disappointing as well. I was unable to rid myself of thoughts that entered my mind while I was meditating and I dwelled on them for a long time.
I found that at the end of today's exercises I was not as relaxed as other times but I think I just had a bad day today.
