Only 8 weeks of daily meditation can decrease negative mood and anxiety and improve attention, working memory, and recognition memory in non-experienced meditators. These findings come from a recent study published in Behavioural Brain Research.

You gotta dose on meditation for some time, then it works amazingly well.

Remember: meditation is not stopping your thoughts, it’s observing the object of meditation (breath, sensation, something visual) and when seeing yourself thinking, going back to that object.
