This is a bit like asking \u201cwhat\u2019s better than physical activity?\u201d. Meditation is mental practice that allows us to improve our mental hygiene, the same way physical activity is a way to improve our body and energy levels.
\nThere are many different types of meditation (I do vipassana mostly) and different people might like different styles, so maybe just like you want to find the right type of sport to stay fit while enjoying the activity you might want to explore different styles to see what best suit you.
\nI like vipassana because it doesn\u2019t require belief systems attached to it, it\u2019s very simple yet not easy, can be done in any situation/environment and I like the apps I am using for it (ten percent, and waking up).
\nSo I guess a way to rephrase the question is \u201cwhat other activities can complement meditation?\u201d. Similarly to how to you would add a better diet to improve your physical shape, there are other things you can do to improve your mental \u201cperformance\u201d. The best options I can think of are keeping a journal (writing forces to more precisely develop a concept), practicing gratitude and creating feedback loops around you. <\/div>\n<\/div>
