That's all. 1-10 and start again, focus on nothing but the breath, and watch the thoughts but don't become engaged with them. Just acknowledge them and return to the breath.
I sometimes count breaths. Sometimes I focus on an image, or on nothing. I spend a lot of time focusing on and pondering nothing, and impermanence. Sometimes I try to focus on sending positive energy to an individual or the world...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.
