MEDITATION
Meditation is the practice of giving up expectations.
Is it not expectations that cause anxiety and stress? Expectations are serenity killers!
When thoughts arise, during the meditation practice period, just notice them [without judgement], then give them over to God by saying something like:
"YOU ALONE I TRUST - THANK YOU"
Empty yourself utterly, and you will come to see that you need do nothing to solve a problem that you do not have.
Peace on you

WHAT IS SANITY?
In the various recovery programs like AA, the second step states "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.". The goal therefore is sanity with God's help.
What is sanity? Sanity is coming to realize that:
Nothing is mine.
I control nothing.
Everything passes.
In virtually every spiritual discipline arriving at this state is called 'Enlightenment'.
Living with both feet planted in this truth is beyond words.
Peace on you.
