In general I've found that I've done many mistakes this year. I want to be a better person (I'm not a bad guy, but I'm not happy with myself and I make personal mistakes often). I have not found answers in religions. Each day I'm more skeptic about christianism.

Hmm...

Meditation will help you, but you have to establish a regular practice, and stick with it. Which is difficult. I think a lot of people have the idea that Buddhist meditation will magically take away all their stress and negative emotions, and make them permanently happy and serene. It doesn't quite work that way. It forces you to face some rather unpleasant things about yourself, and it might feel like things are getting worse instead of better.

But, if you stay with it, you will be transformed by it. Or so I've been told
