Especially if I leave this to the point when I’m sitting in the metro, it’s really hard still.

How I did it: Lessons, once or twice a week, free dancing whenever possible. Practicing is really important. Making mistakes is not a big deal. So just dance, even when you think you cannot yet. Read how I did it…
How I did it: First one day at the time. Just not buying. Remember that you can still ask for candy, and eat if offered, just not buy.It got easier soon, and the last handful of months were really easy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got a three-year diary and every day wrote done some gratitudes (things that made me happy that day) and some acknowledgements (things I've done). In the beginning I'd write the things down as they happened, but later I started writing them last thing that night (or next morning, if I was really too tired to write). Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
What helped most was doing it at the same ‘time’ in my morning routine, in my case either at home before leaving or in the metro. Meditating in the metro was much much harder, by the way.
To me, loving a person means caring for their wellbeing/happiness roughly as much as my own. (Maybe a bit more, a bit less, the same. Or a lot more… but that would be the self-sacrificing kind.)
