Meditation is a practice to use mindfulness activities to become in an emotionally calm and stable state. If you're a beginner and looking to reduce stress, then 10 minutes should be enough. However, if you're looking to focus more on calmness and increased concentration, then up to 30 minutes might be better as you'll have time for some light stretches as well as breathing techniques. It's recommended to meditate once a day to get the best results for mental clarity.

Having your thoughts wander is a part of the meditation process. It is normal for your mind to wander during meditation and it brings your attention back to your meditation every time you notice it.

Meditation brings plenty of benefits to your mental health such as reducing stress/negativity, being present, and increasing patience. Meditation is a time to relax and clear your head.

There is little to no challenges when it comes to meditating. The only difficulty that will occur is to find a safe and quiet space to practice.
