>>7842346In general, there are two broad categories of meditation. You could do a "void" exercise, where you try to keep your mind blank; no thoughts/no feelings. When a thought does happen, just casually dismiss it and keep going.
Or, you can choose something to concentrate on exclusively, either your breathing, or imagine some shape/object, and when stray thoughts come in you just dismiss them and go back to your object of focus.
imo both methods exercise different mental "muscles", and I think it's worth practicing both.
