In meditation, after saying to myself "rising", "falling", "thinking", etc. What do i do after that?

Question

I'm very new to all of this, I'm sure you can tell, so sorry if it is a stupid question.
But I don't want several years to go by and I have been saying "rising", "falling", etc and find I should be have been doing something else.
Many thanks,

Brett.

Hi Brett,

If you haven't already done so , do read Bhante Yuttadhammaos booklet which has the instructions on how to meditate the link is here https://www.sirimangalo.org/text/how-to-meditate/

You can then join the at home meditation course , time permitting, and get instructions from Ven. Yuttadhammao by meeting once a week. The link to join the online course is here  https://meditation.sirimangalo.org/course

Wish you the best.
