Meditation gave me a firm, unshakeable core of self-love. It doesn’t have to be strict. Mine isn’t. I sit every morning for 10 to 30 minutes. I breathe, and I use guided visualization. I also use medication, but I have a serious mental illness that calls for it. Therapy has done wonders, and I highly recommend it. I also believe that regular, good sleep is vital. All that works for me. Try the different parts for yourself. Maybe something will work.
