you don't need an app or a certain music or anything. Sit with your back into a corner and focus on keeping your shoulders basically glued to the wall. Close your eyes and refuse to break frame and open your eyes or unhinge your shoulders. I thought it was bullshit, but it works. By 20 minutes, you'll be someplace else. Your thoughts will nag at you, but eventually they'll go away and you'll enter the thunderdome!

Check out The Mind Illuminated, it’s a very thorough how-to manual on meditation. You want to practice focused meditation because this is what actually exercises your prefrontal cortex, which is used for inhibiting other parts of your brain for executive planning of long-term reward (e.g. inhibiting your compulsion to have a burger and fries and instead adhere to your diet so that you will lose weight).

Don’t use headspace, its just mental masturbaition. I suggest putting a timer on your phone for 3 mins, advance to 5, then 10, etc. Close your eyes and breath, when thoughts come refocus on your breathing. Don’t think of anything else but your breathing, also add chants and mantras if u decide. Then timer goes off, and chill for a few seconds.
