Are there any special meditation guidelines for people with ADD?
I have tried many times to get into meditation because when I can get into it, I do feel temporary benefits. But I have a really really difficult time quieting my mind with the guided meditations. It's usually just an exercise of trying to focus on breathing (or something), getting distracted, realizing I'm distracted, recentering, repeat over and over until the meditation is over. I spend way more time thinking about random things than focusing on breathing. And consequently most of my meditations are wasted time. After a while I gave up.
