Summary
Love can be complicated especially when unhealed wounds are at play outside of self awareness. It's easy to focus on the output or the return when it comes to love and keep your heart and eyes focused on what you are receiving or not receiving from another person. Whenever we focus on the outside, we lose our way and lose our alignment with the purity of the now moment. If I love you, and focus on what you are doing for me in return, then my intention is tainted because my attention on you comes with strings attached.
Unhealthy relationship dynamics can be confusing to sort out and that's why self awareness, and self accountability are so important. To be healthy in a relationship you must be willing to address in yourself the beliefs, assumptions, or behaviors you hold that might be working against your desire to be loving. Codependency is not love. It is a mask for unhealed wounds, and manifests in varied ways, one of which is to love others wishing to be loved in return.

| 0:08.0 | I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse. |
| 0:16.0 | I am a believer in the power of an organized mind. |
| 0:20.0 | My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness |
| 0:24.9 | rather than living a reactive life. |

| 0:32.8 | as you spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast. |
| 0:39.0 | Namaste everybody. So today we're going to be talking about the concept of loving, |
| 0:45.0 | expecting to be loved and how that might be a cause of why we end up in toxic relationships |
| 0:52.5 | and why, no matter how much we give in a relationship or |
| 0:57.0 | how careful we are in picking a partner, we end up feeling like we are in unfulfilling relationships, |
| 1:04.0 | or we end up feeling like the person that we've manifested really isn't who we want. |
| 1:10.0 | So let's dive in and talk a little bit about this concept. |
| 1:13.6 | When we are striving for success and the measure of success is outside of us, |
| 1:19.9 | perhaps it could be in the size of our paycheck, the size of our car, the size of our house, |
| 1:25.3 | this concept of size, this concept of something being |
| 1:29.3 | large and being really, really important, is also tied to something that I can achieve, |
| 1:34.3 | that I can gain from outside of me. So think of it as a measurement or a ruler. |
