My advice for getting started is almost always to meditate and research. Basic meditation (something like mindfulness: acknowledging thoughts and sensations as they come up, but not getting caught up in them; staying in the present moment) starts training your brain to focus on one thing, and be less distracted. It also helps prepare you to branch into different forms of meditation and visualization practices.

As for what kind of magic to start with? That varies a lot from one person to the next. I prefer to advise cleansing and protection, something with a more present application and which can be done on a fairly regular basis to help establish a regular practice. For example, part of the reason Donald Michael Kraig includes the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram in his book, Modern Magick, is because it is sort of like a daily workout. It contains many elements of ritual in not only Western Ceremonial magic (with parallels of similar in other traditions), it requires visualization, the raising and directing of energy, grounding, and banishing. However, the banishing is more about 'astral' attachments than sending some vague concept of spirits away on a daily basis. But it is not the only option for this purpose. This is where research comes in. Read about different beliefs, techniques, and so-on. Try some out. You'll start finding what works better for you.
