Cephas has excellent advice. Body scanning/relax and the breath sensation in the nose is perfect; you can use your abdomen[diaphragm?] rising and falling as well. Your breaths don't all have to be the same either, it's okay to take a long breath or short breath or mix it up. When your deep in the meditation you may be alarmed [but it is no cause for] at how little you're actually breathing. I would like to add to the external objects; I prefer something that's static or relatively unchanging. Something that works well for me is fire or a candle flame, focus on just one section: the tip of the flame or deep in the hottest region. Other simple things: water in a cup, a piece or section of monocolored paper, a cork drink coaster. Be able to visualize this image in your mind perfectly / know the object intimately so you don't have to study it, and keep it to noninteresting things to prevent your mind wandering & daydreaming [like don't use a hot wheels car]. Come back to this image when you mind wanders, it will and that's okay, you'll get better.
