A Simple Form of Meditation
Continue in this manner for ten to twenty minutes. Glance at a clock or watch from time-to-time if you wish. As thoughts enter your mind let them go and focus back on the task at hand.

Practice the technique once or twice daily for best results. As you practice it will become easier to focus and you may notice that the chatter of your mind subsides.
