Meditation is turning off society and listening to yourself. It only "works" when done for its own sake. Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation.

Modern humans, we don't live enough in our bodies. We don't live enough in our awareness. We live too much in this internal monologue in our heads. All of which is just programmed into you by society and by the environment when you were younger. You are basically a bunch of DNA that reacted to environmental effects when you were younger. You recorded the good and bad experiences, and you use them to prejudge everything thrown against you.
