It's called practice for a reason. Just keep going. Everyone wanders, it's the coming back that's the job. And do so compassionately, not beating yourself up for having failed. Be aware not judgemental.
That being said, I like the UCLA MARC ones |

Your first line is perfect !
It's all about the consistency of practice
The ONLY failure is not practicing
One method is to aim to control your breath
I can do a 1 minute breath cycle apx 30 seconds in and 30 out
Feel the air pass your nostrils as your chest fills then feel it as you slowly expell feel every sensation the breath gives you
For me 10 minutes is about 12 breath cycles
Apparently some can achieve 100 or more
The only failure is not doing   |

Good for a looming panic attack.
Locate a part of your body that doesn't feel anxious.
What does it feel like? Hot, cold, can you feel your pulse, what sensations or senses can you attribute to it? Visualise the sensations, sink into it.
That part of your body (often fingers or toes) is not anxious. Your anxiety is not all consuming. Focus on that.
And when you get distracted... come back to it, without judgement. Just return to it. |

Thanks again, I'll commit to not giving up and stop being hard on myself for losing focus and keep trying....
You have all helped and your all fab...  |
