I've been using the Headspace app for weeks now and I feel like its had very little effect on me. How else do you guys go about meditating?...

Many different ways to go about this.

I've tried Headspace and it's fine, but for me what works best is to A) Get to the quiet place. B) Play some soft meditation music C) Once you take the deep breathe and begin, focus on your breath in slowly inhaling on a count to 10, and slowly exhaling on a count to 10. Continue to do this for a set period of time. Focusing on the slow inhale/exhale allows you to separate from the wandering thoughts and gets better over time.

Any thoughts that come to your brain, just observe them, don't engage and they'll pass away. After 10 minutes I like to open my eyes, and breathe normally and observe how I'm feeling. Then I go back to it for another 10 minutes.

Over time you become more and more detached and quite honestly understand that all things are meaningless. Even the generations who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them. So why do we worry? As if anything that troubles us will last. There is nothing better for a person than to eat and drink and find enjoyment and satisfaction in their toil during the few and meaningless days that they pass through like a shadow.
