There are several benefits to meditation, many largely backed by science and studies.  Some mental and emotional benefits include:

• Managing stress and anxiety
• Increasing mental awareness
• Break negative thought patterns and habits
• Greater focus and clarity
• Improved mood and positivity

In addition to these benefits, there are even several physical benefits of meditation as well:

In general, meditation helps us stay grounded and operate in a greater capacity when surrounded by the trials and tribulations of life.  So if you are looking to feel better and improve your mental and even physical well-being, and respond to these hardships with greater calm, all the more reason to try meditation!
