SO relatable!! My mind is constantly going- and sometimes the thought of turning it "off" makes me laugh. Off? As in not going anymore?
I have a love/ hate relationship with recorded meditations. Have you ever tried a live-guided, or in person, meditation session?
My first experience with it I was a child and was in therapy. I went back to a meditation specialist in my 20's and still use a coach for live sessions off and on. I find having someone interact with me in the process of visualizing something helps me stay connected to the task (meditating) instead of my mind being pulled a million different directions.
