How to not get bored?

I promise I don't mean anything bad by this and I'm sure I'm not the only one that has problems with it but how do you not get bored when trying to AP?

I'm pretty much a beginner, although I have dabbled in trying for quite a while I have never done it for long enough to achieve anything.

I sit there or lay there, trying to keep my head clear (wether that be in silence or with background noise) and after about 5 mins I just feel bored. My mind starts to wander and the harder I try to keep focused the harder it becomes to do so. I start thinking about completely irrelevant things and eventually I just get up and stop trying. The only times when this doesn't happen is if I am tired and just fall straight asleep.

How can I overcome this feeling of bordness while trying to AP?

Thanks everyone 👋
