Even though meditation is a simple technique, starting out can be daunting. Most of us are not conditioned to simply sit still and often, the first few minutes can lead to anxiety and even panic. The idea is to start with a short duration. You can start with just thirty seconds of meditation, paying attention to your breath or looking at an object. As your confidence builds up, you can increase the duration. A daily practice of fifteen minutes will go a long way in your overall well-being, as well as in enhancing your performance.
