Meditation 101

These are effects I observed. They probably start after like 2-3 weeks 10min a day.

Low-anxiety – lowering both mild and deep-seated anxieties (anything from social anxiety, health anxiety, mild phobias, panic attacks)
Wisdom – enhancing clarity and improving complex problem-solving (e.g. it's making me a better designer, it’s helping me with difficult decisions)
Focus – Increasing patience and reducing the lure of immediate gratification (For example, I find myself less drawn to minor addictions like social media or casual snacking)
Harmony – experiencing feelings of harmony, peace and acceptance (I feel more at peace; it instills a sense of correctness, grounds me in the present, and quiets the default part of homo-sapiens brain fixated on the next thing or seeking more)

Take this two states of mind: being here and now and being immersed in thought.

Close your eyes and focus on experiencing the here and now. What are the sounds? How are the sensations of your body? How does your own consciousness feel? How a cloud of sensations like emotions feels like? Focus on any input present input. There is no way of doing it wrong.
Naturally, thoughts will come and take you away in the abstract space of no-time and no-place.
Your task is to discover that you are consumed by thoughts and come back to here and now. Be kind to yourself. Everybody fails that. Accept that you will be failing it too and keep coming back.

(In order to feel any effects commit to 10min a day for two-three weeks)

Or just play my fav guided meditations:

“The advantage of meditation is not that you’re suddenly going to gain the superpower to control your internal state, it’s that you will recognize just how out of control your mind is.” – Naval Ravikant

I think most of the people who never meditated have this impression that they are in control of their thoughts. During meditation, you witness how hard it is to stay here and now and that thoughts come up on their own.
“Staying for a minute without getting distracted is a heroic feat. The longer you meditate the easier it is to recognize this "torrent of discursivity" which is preventing you from staying focused.” – Sam Harris
“You can uncover that consciousness itself has intrinsic quality of wellbeing. Simply paying attention to the experience is the antidote to the feeling of dissatisfaction. That what is aware of sadness isn’t truly sad.” – Sam Harris
