There's different types of meditation, but I do the buddhist version. I think it probably generally has the most benefits. Aka mindfulness meditation. I just sit with my eyes closed and when you breathe in (don't force it, just let it happen naturally) you'll notice your stomach rising. Then you just note the fact that its rising by saying in your mind (not out aloud) 'rising.' And when your stomach falls when you breathe out, you note that by internally saying 'falling.'
I also note different types of sensations. For example my fingers and toes might get cold, and I might note the sensation by internally saying 'cold, cold, cold' while focusing on the cold sensation. Or whether you feel pain, tiredness, boredom, your arm is itching, whatever.. you just note it internally. 10-15 minutes a day is what I strive for.
Tbh it sounds crazy that doing something like this could make you a happier person but even studies prove that it works
