Loving-Kindness vs. Subtle Mind

For me personally, I think subtle mind would be easier. The loving-kindess exercise seems like it would take a long time to be able to understand its full benefits, let alone going through each step. I know it is important to love yourself just as much as you love others, but I feel like I do love myself without having to go through so many steps to prove it to myself. With the subtle mind exercise, breathing and focusing is right up my alley. I need that in my life. I'm pregnant, and trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in, let alone all of the thousands of things buzzing through my mind, is enough to keep my up half the night. Focusing in on one thing and controlling my breathing allows me to relax myself and my mind and get a restful night's sleep. I could be a subtle mind advocate!
