Beginners should not worry about meditating correctly and should follow loose instructions to build up their practice slowly over time using a timer. It is recommended to meditate in the morning as part of a routine to feel benefits all day, starting with mindful breathing before moving to more complex meditation in a designated distraction-free space, and sessions should not last longer than what the beginner is able to focus for to ensure long-term practice.

2. Don't worry about meditating
'correctly'
Follow some loose instructions and start slowly. You will get
the hang of it at your own pace.

3. Set a Timer
With it, you can build up your meditation practice over time
instead of trying to do it all at once.

4. Meditate in the Morning
Make it a regular morning routine, and feel the benefits for the
rest of the day.

5. Start Just with Breathing
Get a hang on mindful breathing, then move to more complex
meditation.

6. Designate a Meditation Space
This will create an environment without distractions, in which
you can really concentrate.

7. Do Not Sit for More than You are Able
When you start to feel too anxious or jittery, end your session
to make sure you continue your practice in the long term.
