One tip is to set a specific time and space for your practice where distractions are minimal.

Consider using a meditation app that offers background sounds. Gentle music or nature sounds can help drown out external distractions.

Acknowledge distractions without judgment. Simply notice them and gently guide your focus back to your breath or your mantra.

You can also try shorter meditation sessions. Gradually increasing the duration can make it easier to manage distractions and build focus.

it's normal to have distractions. Be patient with yourself and use the experience to strengthen your practice instead of seeing it as a setback.
