Personally, meditation was difficult for the first couple of months. I only started noticing my mental health improving after about six weeks of daily practice. My stress levels were down, and my anxiety was easier to control. I’ve been meditating daily for about a year and a half now, and my mental health and focus continue to improve. I usually find a quiet place to sit in a comfortable position, whether on a chair or on a cushion atop the floor. The important thing is to sit up straight, so you can breathe easier without falling asleep. Let your eyes come rest on a spot on the floor in front of you. You aren’t deliberately “looking at” the floor, just letting your eyes naturally fall to a sweet spot. Turn all your attention inside your body. Focus on your breath. Feel your lungs expand and contract. Feel the air flow in and out. You will get distracted. That’s okay. Don’t push them away. Just gently return to your breath. Distracting thoughts will come again. Just focus on your breath again. Do this for a few minutes at a time. As your ability to focus improves, gradually build up to meditating for about twenty minutes, once a day.
