Wandering
Excellent explanation of a wandering mind during practice and help with bringing one back to mindfulness

Wind down
This is a good way to leave unimportant thoughts behind and tuck them away momentarily or leave them behind. The reminders to focus on your breath in the moment and the weight of importance on the breath, over those fleeting thoughts that are always buzzing around and bogging you down after a chaotic day with a lot of encounters to process, is very helpful... A good grounding reflection.

Accepting
Great short meditation to embrace and accept the wandering mind

Racing thoughts
It's okay that our minds wander. The mere fact of noticing racing thoughts shows we are in the moment. Great mediation for a loud mind.

Wandering thoughts
Wandering thoughts during a meditation are natural, they do not harm your meditation but allow for an opportunity to refocus.

I give myself permission
I realize that I often wonder, not about the past or future, but about things that are happening now, in a different space. I beat myself up for not moving fast enough to be there. Instead now, I get to be okay with what is. If I'm not there I don't need to carry it. I give myself permission to be content with what is and focus on where I am NOW. And when my mind goes there, I'll thank it and send it light but will no longer give it my power.

Helped normalize my constant "wandering thoughts", and made it easier to manage those.

No judgement
I liked that it gave a way to clear thoughts going by without passing judgement on myself, or feeling like I'm doing something wrong. Thank you 🙏🏻

Feeling Normal
Usually I feel so different and separate from other people due to my tendency towards anxiety. But to audibly hear in the meditation that a constant wandering mind is normal and even if your mind wandered during the meditation, that it is okay and no reason to stop or start over, helped me feel more normal in regard to anxiety. And simply the fact of acknowledging your wandering thoughts when they do happen is a huge step towards mindfulness.
