Meditation /stress management/happier life
Having had a stressful week at work, I’ve used this weekend as I’m away in my camper van to try and have a think about how I can reset my life and just not worry and get annoyed at so many things.
without wishing to get too ‘hippy’ Im possibly going to give mediation another go. I’ve tried a few times but have found it hard to settle my mind.
Anyone have any experience and can recommend techniques? I’ve tried a couple of the apps in the past.
Longer term a more significant change in my lifestyle will probably be the answer (ie less stressful job and more camping!). But in the meantime I’d like to try and do something to improve my day to day life.

This is my experience too. I can, occasionally, settle if I just focus on my breathing. However, once there are birds around I'll happily sit and listen to birdsong and let myself drift away a bit.
Good luck finding something that works. Absolutely nothing takes the stress of life away from me. On my MTB at the top of a hill? Yea, I'll be worrying and thinking about everything.
I tried a breathing app that was recommended to me. Did nothing other than give me quiet time to think about everything that worries me.
