How do I know if I'm meditating correctly?

By practicing, seeking and finding what feels right for you. Many people experience trouble thinking of staying still for one minute or not wanting stillness of the mind when they consider an experience of meditation. Remember what's right for you may not be right for everyone. Meditating will feel like exercising a new muscle, so be patient and kind to yourself on this journey.
Why would this practice benefit me?

This practice is self-care. Dedicating takes time, effort, and commitment. Commit to sitting still for five minutes, day after day, until you're ready to try longer. Clearing your mind and witnessing who you are is important. It helps you tune into what you stand for as an individual and it identifies what you don’t like to feel. Being mindful means being self aware of the space you take and how it impacts others. There is strength in that. If you don’t make it the first time, try again the next day. Eventually, if you connect with the practice, you'll be able to honor the benefits as a part of a self care ritual
What's a good length of time to meditate in order to benefit from the practice?

Depending on the individual and where you're at in your development in the practice of meditation, starting with five minutes straight is good. For the more experienced, pushing yourself to the one–hour mark is possible, and trying for 90–ADD IN "MINUTE" sessions is amazing. The general rule is: The more you put in, the more self-care and awareness you can get back.
I can't stop my mind. I just keep thinking and thinking no matter what I try.
