The Buddha's recommendation on meditation was never to loose, never too tight. Make sure you are giving yourself enough space when meditating - try looking up every now and then or try listening for background sounds. If the problem persists you might like to try walking meditation, which could be less intense than sitting. Anyway before meditating you might try getting some inspiration and spaciousness from nature or even gazing into the sky or for some people listening to relaxing music helps. Meditation should actually be 50% relaxation, 25% general awareness and only 25% attention on the object of meditation such as the breath. It should be sitting like butter melting in the sun without any conscious effort to get results. Anyway don't give up - it is normal for the mind to go wild at first because it is not used to being watched.
