Briefly, metta meditation prepares us to love ourselves. When we love ourselves, then only we can offer kindness and love to others.
Before you start with a metta meditation, you should be comfortably seated. Breathe deeply. Try to remember memories where you experienced kindness and love. Recite the metta prayer.
Metta prayer:
May I be happy,
may I be well.
May I be free from suffering,
may I be peaceful and at ease.
Buddha metta via Golubnichy, 2017.
Practice saying this metta several time and believe in it. You will have a positive attitude and approach your day with enough personal conviction to tackle your responsibilities.
