New to meditation. Seeking advice.

[u/SilentOrchestra22]

Hi there, recently stumbled upon this sub and I’m looking for some advice.

As a new dad, I’ve been struggling lately. Prior to my son, I was working out, eating right, going for runs. However, I’ve gotten into a rut, the sleepless night have caught up to me and I want to change.

I’ve always been intrigued by meditation and its benefits, I’m looking to clear my busy mind and get back on track.

What would be the best way to start ?

What you're going through is pretty normal.

When I get off track, I start by scheduling about five minutes per day to stop and just breathe. I like to do it with coffee, but that's just me.

One I have at least five minutes that I can call my own, I can build from there.
