I have never seriously meditated. Being understimulated is intolerable to me, and I also have various practical and physical reasons to avoid holding still in one position for longer than a couple minutes at a time.

Not all types of meditation involve sitting still. My preferred meditation type is one that requires you to be walking, instead. (But note that different "meditation types" correspond to very different mental states, and statements about their effects do not transfer.)
