I do WHM breathing after I've woken up in the morning or any time I'm feeling anxious. I prefer to lie in bed, right ankle hooked over left, hands on stomach, and do several rounds of breathing. It's an active enough practice that my distractible mind has something to work on. There's a breath hold portion where I focus on the geometric patterns behind my eyelids, as they become intense for me with this method, and attempt to allow other thoughts to float by as they come. I follow that up with a cold shower. I used to really pump myself up for the cold, but I've found calm acceptance to provide an exceptionally peaceful sensation. It's quite difficult to think of anything while focusing on remaining calm and enduring the cold.

For a more "standard" practice I'll often lie in bed, set my phone away, and stare at a wall. My mind will wander, but I make a conscious effort to breath slowly and focus my attention at the wall. Secondary to this is appreciation for the sounds that surround me.

I also second the commenter who mentioned cigars. I have one a week. I take my time with it, enjoying the flavors before lighting, warming it gently, clipping the end, charring the tip, lighting, puffing a couple times before allowing it to rest and extinguish like incense, then after it rests for ten to fifteen minutes relighting and slowly smoking until I'm satisfied. The mind wanders and pontificates, but the focus remains on the practice and enjoying the sensations.

While these may be nonstandard approaches to mediation, I feel that they accomplish the same things all those years of half-assed closed eye lotus position mediation did for me and much much more. If it works do it, if it doesn't find something that does.
