Meditation Doesn't Need to Be Easy or Calm to Be Beneficial
Briefly

Meditation is hard. It's a tough mental workout. The idea is to try to notice your immediate, present-moment sensations, such as breathing, with as little judgment as possible. When you lose focus, you begin again, over and over and over.
Distractions will arise. Managing those distractions with minimal judgment is a normal and essential aspect of meditation. Over weeks and months, these mental 'reps' cultivate attentional control and reduce judgmental tendencies, improving mental health.
