Can anyone give advice or direct me in the right direction when it comes to meditation? I feel strongly that this should be a part of my daily routine, but have no idea where to start.

I meditate daily and I know it helps me. I went to YouTube and tried different ones until I found ones that work for me. I like the ones by Wayne Dyer the best, but that's just me. I am usually only able to meditate once a day because of my schedule, and afternoon works best for me because I am usually feeling anxious by then. I encourage you to try it because I know how helpful it has been for me.

There are a lot of guided meditations on YouTube and the app 'Insight Timer'. I like this app because afterwards, it tells you "you just meditated with Sarah from the north pole" or something. It shows a map of who is using which meditation.

Mindfulness meditation had been really helpful for me. The 'Smiling Mind' app is a good introduction to this. I also did a course on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction which helped me as well.
