Do meditations where you JUST try and clear your mind. If thoughts pop up, just gently push them aside. It takes a good bit of practice so just keep at it. It just takes practice.

Doreen virtue has a few of them one I like is her Chakra clearing meditation. Enjoy Try a meditation CD to start with it will help you get used to clearing your mind.

What you need to do is sit down on a comfortabel surface, or lie down, whichever is better for you. Then you need to close your eyes, possibly put some soft, soothing music on, and imagine a white candle. Imagine you can feel the heat of the candle on your palms, warming your body slowly, starting from your toes and up. Relax everything as the candle warms you up and focuse on your breathing. If a thought appears in your head then let it go. It usually helps me if I imagine it going through one ear and out the other. sounds silly but it works. Now, keep focusing on the candle that you imagined. Do this until you're calmed or relaxed. It will take a lot of practise to achieve a full meditative state but if you follow these steps and practise daily you'll get there. I had the same problem when I was practising meditation.
