Make sure that when you sit(preferably lotus position) that you are comfortable. You can't meditate if you are uncomfortable. Focus on your breath as it goes in your lungs and your belly rises. Thoughts will appear, gently shift your attention back to the breath. Start with short(10 minute) sessions twice a day then move up if you wanna get better at it. And finally, meditation is a tool for self-exploration. Don't treat it like a chore. : )
