"How can we remain calm when our thoughts are wandering?"

Here are a few simple techniques.

Name what is happening.
When you notice that your thoughts are wandering, simply say to yourself (in your mind) without irritation: “I am distracted. My thoughts are wandering right now. That's okay.”
This brings you back to mindfulness and allows you to not merge with the inner chaos.

Inhale—exhale.
Take one slow breath in for a count of four, exhale for a count of six.
Repeat three times.
This activates the parasympathetic nervous system (calming).

Anchor yourself in your body.
Feel your bodily sensations: your feet on the floor, your body weight on the chair, the temperature of the air on your skin. Focus on 1–2 sensations. Your body is always here. Your body is your support.
