Meditation and relaxation?

does anyone here meditate or find a way to relax to ease any worrys, depression, or stress? ive been trying ive been taking hot baths and stuff like that and lisitng 2 soothing music as i go to bed. im only 15 but sometimes i get up on dumb things and feel all edgy, other times i feel laid back and at peace with the world, its annoying 2 go back and forth on a sometimes regualr basis, i need to find one level of comfort and high confidence, does anyone got any good tips?
Answer:
Just breathe! Breathe slow and deep. Find a time when you aren't distracted too. Don't hold onto thoughts you find that cross your mind. Just let them go, don't chase them or try to "figure" them out. Listen to the sound of your breath as it goes in and out, or you can always hum a simple word or phrase. (The "om" thing is just that--it just directs your thoughts to the sound of your breathing.) You have to practice, and it does take a while to "retrain" your brain to put your worrying thoughts away. Stick to it and eventually it'll happen.
If you are looking for a smooth ride in life, you are out of luck. Life isn't meant to be a straight, narrow path. It was made to take a few dips and sharp turns and inclines. If you only felt one way all of the time, how would you know if you were alive?
