Why Is There Less Love In Our Lives?

In this talk, we explore the connection between our global state of exhaustion and the lack of intimacy in our lives. Real love and emotional connection require a "full battery," yet many of us are living with our energy depleted by endless to-do lists and a disconnect from the natural world.

So why is there less love and connection in our life?

There's definitely less love in our life than great-grandparents,

Great-great-great-grandparents.

We have more devices,

We have more convenience,

We have less love.

Why?

The first reason.

There's no connection or less connection because we're just all really tired.

So real emotional intimacy takes energy.

It's you giving energy,

You receiving energy.

You need a full battery to connect,

To give energy.

We're mostly all living in a state of exhaustion because we're trying to achieve many,

Many things at once.

We have a to-do list with a lot of tasks,

A lot of areas we wanna cover.

We think that if I do this,

And I do this,

And I do that,

And I do that,

Then I'll be happy,

And we don't rest.

We're living cut off from nature.

You don't have the energy of the earth feeding you.

We don't have contact with our ancestors.

We don't have contact with people who really support us.

We often don't have people who share our values.

We're not grounded.

You need energy for true love,

For real love.

So for that,

I recommend a self-compassion practice.

Start a self-compassion practice,

And you'll have more energy and more ability to love the people around you.

I don't want you to be thirsty for connection and love.

That's where the world is heading.

My goal is that to stop the trend and that you're not part of the trend.

I wish you real,

Authentic love in your life.

Thank you.
