I am in the Order of Interbeing, which is the mindfulness community that follow Vietnamese Buddhism in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. The best advice I ever received was to sit. Just sit. Don't expect anything, just sit and focus on your breathing. With time, it becomes a very lovely place to be and you will want to sit as much as possible.
