What should I focus on: the breath, sounds, or nothing?

Pick the breath, and stop shopping for a better object. The question itself is the restlessness you sat down with. Breath, sounds, nothing: each one works, and none works if you keep switching to test which is best. Choose the breath because it is always with you, in the car, in line at the pharmacy, in a hard meeting. When sounds arrive, let them. When thoughts pull you off, come back. Tonight, sit ten minutes and count ten exhales, then start again at one.
