How?

Let me tell you how things worked out for me. I sat in my chair on my balcony and simply looked at the clouds from morning to evening. No distractions, my mind can’t talk forever, after some time my thoughts cease to exist. Still I was in no position to meditate, because I was too behind in my life, I had to settle that issue, I told myself for the next one or two hours, I won’t think about it, and my mind listened. It was hard at first, I had to let go of all the expectations people had on me. All I asked my mind is that this one question, so what?
