1. It all starts with the realization of unmindfulness. This is when you realize your mind has wandered off: it will inevitably happen during the practice as well as throughout the day.
2. After acknowledging the mind wandering off, you must reconcentrate on the present moment (this can be done with a meditation anchor like your breath, or the sounds around you). Doing this will secure your progress.
3. The cycle then repeats itself until the end of your practice.

Meditation is a form of mental training that can help you develop a better relationship with your thoughts and emotions. It also helps you feel more connected with the world around you, which makes finding happiness easier.

However, since we can’t wrap what meditation is in one sentence only, we should, by bringing clarity to what it is not, create space for what it can be:

Meditating is not about judging or avoiding thoughts, what it is all about is watching the thoughts as they come, acknowledging them, and gently letting them go.

Try to practice bringing mindfulness to various moments in your day: while you brush your teeth, walk, commute to work...
