I'm having the same trouble! From everything I've researched, it just takes consistent practice to get the hang of. Tons of extremely successful people/CEOs say that meditation is the one habit that has changed their life for the better, and allows them to be more productive. So I'll see how it goes over these 8 weeks... I think one of the keys is allowing myself to get distracted, and then being mindful of where my mind wanders to. I find there is a lot of judgemental/negative chatter going on in the background of my mind, and I don't really notice it's there until I'm quiet and sitting still.
