What is meditation? Meditation does have many definitions but the most popular one is focussing on your breath and being in the moment.
Meditation is not thinking about anything. Thinking is an involuntary activity, kinda like a heartbeat…you can’t stop your heartbeat by focussing on it, same as your thought processes.
Meditation is not a religious activity, you can meditate and still do your thing. Meditation is not a prayer. Yes, some other culture tie yoga (a type of meditation) with their own religious activities but the modern version of meditation has nothing to do with deities. Just about the breath and peace of mind.
Personally, I loooove meditation because it helps me to manage stress, it makes me calm, even happier and most importantly, it helps me sleep so well which then subsequently leads to me having a great day.
