Yes, exactly.

One of the many positive side-effects of meditation helped with this; just as you learn to allow the sparks of thoughts to cool and disappear rather than starting little fires of distraction, you're also able to do the same with noisy distractions from your physical location, tuning them out.

Good to know. I have never done meditation, mostly because one of my uncles did when I was young and he had some negative effects from it (probably was taught wrong, I guess). That made me cautious about meditation, especially as I have a lot of mental issues already.
