So, 10 minutes a day is a perfect starting point. It's perfectly fine to continue meditating for just 10 minutes a day, you will definitely see considerable benefits such as being more aware, present, focused, etc. no matter how long you meditate.

Having a crowded mind is normal and will get better over time. These are some of the tips you can use for making it more relaxed

• Get in a comfortable position. When you think of meditation, the lotus position (a cross-legged, seated asana) probably comes to mind
• Take deep breaths
• Don't judge yourself when your thoughts start to wander
• Use a guided meditation app
• Meditate regularly

Meditation takes practice. Keep in mind, for instance, that it's common for your mind to wander during meditation, no matter how long you've been practicing meditation. If you're meditating to calm your mind and your attention wanders, slowly return to the object, sensation or movement you're focusing on.

From my own experience meditation takes practice. Your mind will be all over the place and you will get distracted often. Knowing your when and where to meditate can help you a lot clearing your mind. Meditation is for everyone and you need to discover it on your own. Its a unique experience for everyone so you can try it and see how you feel
