Slow and steady. You are not trying to prove anything to anyone. If you are shy about your practice then do it in a room where there is no chance of someone entering. Reserve a set of clothes, a cushion, and THE SAME spot and THE SAME time (if possible) for EVERY meditation. The reason for this is that the shakti (or life force) that is generated in your meditations permeates the spot as well as the material involved in that meditation. Using all the same elements helps the meditator return to the state of meditation and as your practice matures so will the right effort.
The meditation can be as simple as following your breathe, when the mind wanders come back to the breath, the breath is not to be contrived...let it flow naturally. In time you will find other practices that work for you.
