Watching your mind run in circles can be very frustrating.

This is normal for those new to meditation. Over time, with practice, your mind will become more peaceful. You should never make this a goal of your meditation though, it will only frustrate you.

If you have underlying conditions like anxiety, PTSD, etc. try a guided meditation. Perhaps a sound meditation, like crystal bowls.

Here is a helpful e-book for those with a racing mind.
