Don't strain. Don't force anything or make grand, exaggerated efforts. Meditation is not aggressive. There is no place or need for violent striving. Just let your effort be relaxed and steady.
Sometimes people scold themselves in meditation when their minds wander. Be sure not to do this! Have a gentle interior tone of voice with yourself. Meditation is not a contest with distractions. Rather it is a way of deeply resting the mind.
