Meditation for the Stressed Out Women Who Can't Sit Still to Meditate

This is me.

I couldn't meditate. It would always turn into the Julia Roberts moment of sound asleep and snoring in meditation class (Eat, Love, Pray).

I just wasn't good at it and disappointingly could not understand how people did it.

What was I doing wrong that prevented me from getting the benefits, besides a great night's sleep, from doing meditation?
