Every day we are bombarded with bad things and they end up playing in our minds like normal thoughts will come when you are meditating.
When you are meditating there shouldn't be thoughts coming from the outside but rather be things that come from your inner self and ideally will be thoughts that need to be directed our.
Today I found myself constat getting this mind movie of traveling, vacations and things that pretty much come from the outside world and kind of block what I could possibly get from meditation. It is a new hard thing that seems to be pushing me and get me back in focus. I need to pay less attention to what those thoughts make me think and rather try harder to block everything from the outside and get my own stuff from meditation.
