peaceplease.... you are not alone. I would say be grateful for the 10 minutes. It was the same for me when I started back doing it regularly again. Gradually I have been able to increase the time but I don't think the amount of time is so important. Especially in the beginning.
When distracting thoughts come into your head acknowledge them and then return to your breath. You may not go a minute without a distracting thought. The minute will stretch over time. Just be okay with it happening. It is not a measure of success. Just let yourself experience whatever comes without expectation or judgement.
If you read some of the early posts you will see that we all felt the same. Just keep at it would be my advice. Let us know how it goes so we can encourage and support you.
