@sheeraz wrote a list called 10 Reasons why mediation is hard. Sitting in some sort of lotus position or whatever and telling yourself "now I am going to meditate" is hard. I can't do it, I've never been able to do that. At some point I picked up a broader definition of meditation that fits closer to what I can do. Some sort of thing, activity maybe, but a thing that allows you to clear out your mind for a few minutes or otherwise reboot would seem to offer meditative benefits.
My list is a few examples of this form of "meditation."
1. Deadlifting
I've said this before on here but the concentration it requires forces me to think only about the exercise, nothing else. To Sheeraz' point there is no monkey brain while I am deadlifting, it is a total reboot of my brain. I get a similar effect from farmers carry too.
