    It takes a lot of work and practice to truly blank your mind through meditation. That's not really the point, at least not when you start out. The first revelation of meditation is that your inner consciousness torrential and busy, so you're doing good! The next step is to acknowledge each little thought and worry, accept it, and move on from it or let it go. Maybe reflect on why it came to your mind.

    The goal of mindfulness is not to clear your mind completely empty, but to understand your inner consciousness and using that insight to gain greater emotional control of yourself.
