Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

You do not necessarily need love from a partner and it's important that you learn to generate self-love.

If you do not generate self-love, if you're not able to generate love from within,

going into a type of relationship can be difficult because you develop neediness.

And I've been there, right? We've all been there at points where we lack self-love. We need it from our

partner and that can push away the path. It makes you unattractive. So in Phase 1

compassion we activate love as an energy by seeing the face of someone you love.

And even if you are single, that face could be a nephew, a niece, a mom, a dad, a pet, your best friend,

maybe a younger version of you. You feel that love in your heart,

you give it a color, and then you take a deep breath and as you exhale, you imagine that love filling

your entire body. You can even experience love from God or a higher power. You feel that raining down upon you and filling your entire body and you just feel that love for yourself.

Then you expand that into wider and wider circles.

So love as an energy is a incredibly powerful energy because the feeling of love

creates all of these other delicious emotions. Esther Hicks, the spiritual

teacher wrote a book called The Deliberate Power of Emotions and she says

it's not our minds that attract. She also wrote the book Law of Attraction but she's very

clear it is the emotional state you're in that causes the attraction. It's not, oh I'm going to see

that house so I'm going to get that house. I'm going to see myself healing so I'm

going to get that healing. It's the emotional state you're in. Before you go to

the manifesting part you work on compassion gratitude forgiveness

this is about six minutes you put yourself in the right emotional states then you go to

the action-oriented manifesting.
