So I was recently told to try a loving-kindness exercise, and found it very difficult to follow the instructions.

So basically they have you first sit comfortably, Then you try to remember a person or situation you felt warm being loved (or loving) And then you want to focus on the feeling that this gives you. And finally think of a person you want to share this feeling with.

But I’m already stuck in the second part. I can’t really remember something good that happened to me that would actually cause a feeling.

I just don’t really notice any change.

Did anybody find a way to actually feel anything by thinking back on something? Or in any other way?
