Is it normal to have trouble focusing during meditation?

Yes, it is completely normal to have trouble focusing during meditation. Meditation is a practice that helps to train the mind to focus and concentrate, but it can be challenging for beginners. The mind is used to being active and constantly processing information, so it can take some time to learn to quiet the mind and focus on the present moment. Also, having distractions around can make it difficult to focus on meditation. It's important to remember that meditation is a practice, and it takes time and patience to develop focus and concentration. If you find yourself struggling to focus during meditation, don't be discouraged. Instead, try to be gentle with yourself and simply redirect your attention back to your breath or the focal point of your meditation when your mind wanders.
