If you're new to meditation, starting slowly and being patient with yourself is important. Here are a few tips to help you get started: 

• Find a comfortable position: You can meditate sitting, lying down, or even standing. Just ensure you're comfortable and won't be distracted by your body. 
• Focus on your breath: Once in a comfortable position, close your eyes and focus on your breath. Breathe deeply and slowly, in and out through your nose. 
• Notice thoughts, but return focus to your breath: It's normal for ideas to pop into your head while meditating. When they do, just let them go and refocus on your breath. 
• Start with a short session: If you're starting, try meditating for 5 to 10 minutes daily. As you get more comfortable with it, you can gradually increase the length of your sessions.
