While meditating during calm, relatively distraction-free times of the day can be helpful, especially for people who are new to the practice, more experienced meditators may derive additional benefits from meditating during those moments when life is chaotic and their thoughts are racing. “In meditation, we’re cultivating the skills of focusing on an anchor and releasing distractions,” Mrazek says. “You can’t practice releasing distractions without distractions.
