A Moment of Silence

Sitting still and in silence is not a very easy task for me to do.  I can't stand sitting still and not having any noise around me.  When I do my homework, I have to have some sort of noise around me.  Having to sit still for 5 minutes was very hard, but I did it.  My mind wandered and I thought about literally everything that had happened today and even earlier in the week.  When I think about things that have happened, I also start to think about the "what ifs".  Like, what if this had happened differently or what if that had happened at a different time.  As my mind started to wander, I felt as though those few minutes of silence hadn't really helped me reflect on my day at all because I couldn't stay on topic.
