If you're stressing about not knowing how to meditate, or if you're worried you won't be able to calm your wandering mind, don't sweat either. Winters-Casiano recommends not diving right in or overthinking things.
"'I don't know how to meditate,' 'I can't sit still,' 'My mind won't stop wandering,' are all things I have heard from students who want to begin this practice," Winters-Casiano explains. "Many people tend to overthink when it comes to diving into a meditation practice. The most important thing is to start."
