An idea from The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

If one way doesn’t work, others are offered. Breathing out slowly and pausing before the next breath steadies the mind. So does resting attention on an inner light free of sorrow, or on a mind that has outgrown craving. Or you can meditate on anything you love.

From The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Patañjali
