If you find yourself thinking about past or future, just gently bring yourself back to the present. Don't be upset with yourself for these thoughts. Eventually it will get easier.
For myself, I first felt alot of depression and boredom. I think it was because I used to distract myself with food, TV watching, daydreaming etc. Anything to not think about something "unpleasant". Now I just allow the feelings to be. I have experienced that after a while the sad or bored feelings go away and I experience a deep inner peace. Just a feeling of total contentment.
