Is it not the case that if we think about ourselves a lot we become anxious?

Meditation is the practice of forgetting self.  

What to think about? For it is in the remembrance of God that hearts find peace.  Try this:

He is God: the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the Beautiful Names. Glorifying Him is what is in the heavens and the earth. He is the Dignified, the Wise

[Quran]

                             BACKWARDS

The reason that most meditation practices do not produce the desired results is because they are doing it backwards - the seeker is seeking himself to fix the problem that the seeker has created.
