I'm sorry you equated me saying we want to help our partner feel better with 'stop whining'.
My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as "I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day".
And for more what you seem to be after, you can't go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They're some guided meditations with a fancy audio technique that helps your brain tune to the desired mental frequency.

Meditation is the practice of training your mind better to pay attention to something specific without wandering. It's what I'm using to try to get my attention back, along with a myriad of other benefits.
That and leaving my phone in another room instead of in my pocket. It's a lot easier to notice the impulse to check your phone when you start walking towards the bedroom to see what's new on distraction box.
Isn't everything ultimately an act of God?
