Meditation : it's the action of practicing meditating which is to focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.
Is it also described as a habitual process of training your mind to focus and redirect your thoughts.

STEPS OF MEDITATING :
S
tep 1 : Sit on a chair, or lie comfortably
Step 2 : Close your eyes
Step 3 : Don't make any effort to control your breathing, just breath naturally
Step 4 : try to clear you mind as much as possible, and stop thinking about the past, the futur, the tasks you should do, the work you still have etc... just block all of these thoughts when they come to you. the ultimate goal is to think about nothing and to empty your mind completely for about 2 mins. Don't imagine others things too, or daydream and get distracted.
*this is optional but you can also add calm, classic music if you'd like*
Focusing on your breathing ( inhalation and exhalation) can also help you to avoid getting distracted.

This exercice is hard at first, but after a few practices you'll be able to train your mind not to think about anything within a few minute!
I have tried it many times and it honestly works like magic. I highly recommend you to try this small exercice, it only takes 2 mins, and you don't need any material. It can be helpful, especially in this period where many of us are feeling anxious and stressed.
You can practice meditation at any time you feel like you are under pressure, and it is also good to practice in the morning, to start you day with a cleared mind.
