I think I have the opposite of Monkey Brain. A lot of the time I just empty my head completely. I don't want to do anything or feel anything so I just float away to nowhere. So instead of drifting, I tried this technique. I don't have much concentration at the moment so the most I managed was about 10 breaths. I went back to this two or three times today and I do feel less anxious about the state of the world and all the things I can't change.
