The first station of Total Health, Amplified Human Awareness, Sexual Immortality, Optimal Longevity and Integrated Personality is breath. No matter what it is precisely you do with your time, you've got to breathe. Number one. Number two: breathing is a very clear physiological function where both concious and unconcious control are evident. We can control our breath as much as the movement of and arm, and yet if we lose track of it it proceeds without ado. The gimmick of all meditative techniques is to accomplish the impossible trick of being aware of the moment in which the awareness of breathing ceases. That's when you tap the mainline of your personal power. Hence the popular anthem of the Neopseudomillennial formalist movement, "Shut up and breathe!"
So, that's very easy, but you have to do a lot of it, repeated, daily, breathing for long uninterrupted periods. For top efficiency you'll have to fit in at least two hours a day. But it's okay, you can start small, you've been wasting your whole life up to now, another couple of months is not going to kill you. And there are lots of cheap and free aids to keeping a practice of breath on track. Whatever works: just try to remember thath you're just breathing. You can start right now, trust me, there's no shame in admitting that you could really use it right now, just be quiet for a second...
Now, breathe...
