Refocusing Practice

Treat meditation as repeatedly bringing attention back after mind wandering. Reframe mind wandering as training rather than failure, and think in terms of refocus ability rather than uninterrupted focus ability; more refocusing repetitions can mean more effective training.

One of the key elements of any meditative practice... is that it's really a refocusing practice. The more number of times that you have to yank yourself back into attending or perceiving one specific thing... actually the more effective that practice is.
