How can I meditate better when my family is around me or making sounds or watching TV's and eating?

First,

Try to avoid such a place.

Try to move your location or try to secure some location that's more isolated and quiet just for yourself.

But if you don't have any other choice,

Then try to explore whether you can maintain that type of focus and mindfulness in the midst of such distractions.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If I'm walking through a busy market,

I'm being pressured left and right to buy something.

I'm being forced to go through that market without hating anyone,

Without feeling annoyed.

I think that the most important thing is to keep your mind on the market.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

If you don't have any other choice,

Then try to avoid such a place.

And from that perspective of non-hurryness from peace and calm,

I want you to continue and consistently practice the breathing in and out.
