It makes perfect sense. It is hard for me to quiet my mind, though it is beneficial to shut off the "mind chatter". Learning how to do so helps when I am upset, in pain or in fear. It is a way to let go of all those snowballing thoughts instead of holding onto them like a stubborn tree branch and snapping.
Personally I find it helpful to meditate while walking or giving myself permission to fidget. I also use Chinese mediation balls in places where I cannot get up. (Bus, car, dentist ect)
I started a thread for mediation here:
