I need to start meditating. I'm certain it would do me good mentally. Thanks for mentioning it.

I might give Bible studies another try.

Yeah no problem. I'd try calm.com as a good starting point. It's guided, but it'll definitely get you into the right mind frame. There are different ways of going about meditation I've noticed. You can either try and clear your mind (what I typically do), or focus on God. Either way, it's very soothing and gets you into the present. That's the hardest thing I've found, is to clear my mind so much that I'm not focusing on anything but meditating, but it's good practice.

Yeah, the only thing about those though is that you might get into too much Christian dogma that could potentially bog down the actual message. But it's definitely worth a shot.
