This has inspired me to try this too. I think I won’t do 1h per day because I’m out of practice with meditation so 1h sounds real hard, but I commit to doing 20 mins per day for 10 days sometime in February.
What resources did you use to learn/practice? (Anything additional to the ones recommended in this post?) Was there anything else that helped?
I’ve since been told about Tasshin Fogleman’s guided metta meditations, and have found their aesethic to be much more up my alley than the others I’ve tried. I’d expect others who prefer a more rationalist-y aesthetic to feel similarly.
The one called ‘Loving our parts’ seems particularly good for self-love practice.
So glad to hear it! I don’t use any particular resource. Just the general principle of generate the feeling of loving-kindness on something easy for you, then maintain that emotion while thinking of something that’s slightly harder to feel loving-kindness towards, then slowly level up, until you’re working on people really hard for you.
Amazing!

Good luck! Would love to hear how it goes :)
