Once your arm is tired drop your hand while still focusing on that spot on your forehead. See yourself breathing in white smoke and breathing out either black or grey smoke. As you breath in imagine white smoke filling your body and pushing stale black smoke out.

Everytime your mind wonders pull it back to the spot on your forehead. When you feel like you can't sit any longer open your eyes and check the timer. If you have sat for 10 minute or more proceed with the next step, if not close your eyes and focus back on meditating.
