Finding a guided meditation for beginners where you\u2019re being reminded to breathe consistently can help. Also starting with short meditations (1-5 minutes) can help you learn to do longer ones. And it\u2019s okay to acknowledge your restlessness, to say, \u201cThis is what I\u2019m feeling right now, and that\u2019s okay.\u201d Remember, even just a few seconds of purposeful breathing can be meditation and can make a difference. Keep in mind, too, not everyone gets the same thing out of meditation.
