Another couple practices you could try out:
Stare at a candlelight in a dark room. Watch the flame flicker as it does and if/when you start to think about something, just bring your focus back onto the flame and continue to watch it. Simply watch.
Focus on your breath as you breath in. Feel your diaphragm or chest expand, then feel the air flowing out of your lungs and your diaphragm or chest contract.
Use a mantra, like that "omm" thing monks do. I'm not too familiar with this technique so you could google mantra meditation if it interests you.
The way I prefer meditation is focusing on my breath and asking to do something during my meditation. For example when I'm sitting ready to meditate, I set an intention to, not necessarily meditate on something, because meditation is something like the absence of thought, but have the meditation reveal to me or focus on something specific that I'd like to work on. Just now I meditated for a couple seconds on what to say next in this post. <-- So I wrote that!
Hope it helped,
Josh!
