Hello, the past few weeks i have been a little stressed. I tried to meditate but most generic techniques dont work for me, do you have any that worked?

I need to start again. It has been really helpful in the past. When it’s working, I noticed myself getting worked up about things and I found that I could pull myself back toward the centre. It takes work; you need to re-write your mind’s natural behaviour, which takes time. I could really use that discipline again lately. Thank you for reminding me.
I follow the typical “bring your focus back to your breath” method. However, after a while I added an additional layer… “try to feel your heartbeat under your breath”. It’s much harder to do and requires greater focus on the task. In a way, for me that makes it easier. Helpfully, the more stressed you are, the easier it is to find your heartbeat.
Whenever you find your thought drifting, just bring it back to your breath, and then to your heartbeat.
