For guided meditation it takes practice to learn to let go and figure out what your mind needs to enter such a state. It’s a trance state, which some people are better or worse at.
For observer style I like to do mild exercise (walking or casually biking for me) and letting my mind roam free. The trick is you let your thoughts happen as they will, without trying to encourage or discourage any of them. You just let then play themselves out. It’s very much a “the only way out is through” thing
There’s also energy style and I recommend starting with guided energy meditations and once you find them helpful and understand the basic gist you can free-form decently.
