Meditation is a naturally occurring rest state; it is resting in yourself while remaining awake and alert. Meditation is innate, and your body already knows how to do it. The human body has an instinctive ability to shift into profound rest states in order to heal, energize, integrate, tune itself up, and assimilate learning. It is almost a sure bet that you have already experienced this many times in your life.
If you have meditated in the past and want to get back into the practice of daily meditation, or occasional meditation, then treat yourself as a beginner. Most likely the reason you stopped meditating was not lack of discipline - it was that you changed somehow. You may have fulfilled the intention of the meditation you were doing, or something in your body or your life changed - and so the meditation you had been doing was no longer appropriate.
Don't put obstacles in the way of meditation. Practice wherever you are, for a second or two.
That being said, when possible go out into your favorite places in nature and allow your love of nature to carry you deeper.
If you are stuck inside, you can think of a favorite place in nature, wherever that is.
