You can either still the monkey mind or accept it in it’s happening so that it may sit in its stillness. Do not make excuses not to meditate but make sure you are moving through your tao. Treat meditation as an act of rejuvenation. The key to meditation is to become aware of your focus and concentration. Release your thoughts by realizing you are not the thought but it’s observer.
