Do i just sit down and try to think nothing? do i do breathing exercises? does it actually have benefits?

Second question first: yes, it has scientifically proven benefits. Namely stress relief and everything that goes along with that (which is a lot).
Anyone who tells you there’s only one way to meditate is wrong.
The common thing is that you’re basically making your mind concentrate on one specific thing.
Sitting in a quiet place and reciting a mantra works for some people but it’s far from the only way. Some people meditate like that. Some people concentrate on music. Some people walk. There’s even a form of meditation where you sit down and concentrate on _everything that is making you uncomfortable_, like that random itch, or that buzzing noise, or the fly that has now landed on you, etc.
You can try all kinds of things and see what works for you.
