I'm no good at silent meditation either. I almost always have to have guided or moving.

In the winter when it was harder to get outside, I would walk/run on my mom's treadmill for an hour a day. I would set on some music that wouldn't distract me and after I got into a rhythm I would focus on a color starting with red and working my way through the rainbow, ending with white. I would run for as long as I could focus on white then do my cool down as I went back down through the rainbow.

I got the color meditation from the Meditation Podcast which is supposed to work well for sleep, but it worked equally well for getting my mind out of the equation as I exercised, kind of a chance to reboot. Helped me get to sleep faster too.

There are days when I'll ask everyone not to bother me for a while, turn on some music, and lose myself to dancing. That works well too.
