In our life, we see so much negative....I try to find my "Happy Place "at least 15 minutes a day....Simply sit down, clear your mind and find it....Repeat after me....I love my job....Over and over...That's my Mantra....I googled it and found this:
How to Meditate using a mantra
The most important thing is don't try too hard. Don't make a big deal out of this. It is the easiest thing that our mind can do ... perhaps that is why it is so powerful.
1) Find a quiet environment. It is best to be where you won't be disturbed.
2) Sit comfortably in a comfortable chair (don’t lie down) with the eyes closed. Try to be in a place with a minimum amount of noise and light. But don't be concerned with noises. They are not a distraction to meditation (I have meditated in airports, in the car, in boring classes or meetings, and large list of other places. The important thing is to do the process as I describe below.).
3) Begin by sitting in your chair for about 30 seconds of sitting with the eyes closed and just get yourself in tune with your internal environment (do a quick body scan). Next, begin, as effortlessly and silently as possible repeating a word to yourself (not out loud). The word you choose is called a mantra.
a. Examples of words (mantras) to use: still, one, relax, peace, empty, calm, serene, silent, tranquil, spaghetti, or any other word or phrase that is easy to remember (it makes no difference what word you use. It only matters that you proceed with the simple intention of repeating the word, over and over and over.).
b. Simply repeat silently the mantra over and over to yourself.
c. Just let your mind whisper your mantra under your thoughts, over and over and over. Don't try to change your thoughts in any way. Just allow yourself to keep whispering the word silently to yourself.
d. If you have a mind, you can practice mantra meditation
