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.

Yes.

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 partner.

It makes you unattractive.

Yes. So in phase one compassion, we activate love as an energy by seeing the face of someone you love.

And even if you're 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, 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.
