Here's a good exercise...  Make a list of all the things you do - for example in relation to your partner/boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife that you wouldn't dream of doing if you didn't care whether they liked you or not!

It's a very revealing exercise (and embarrassing)... you can do it in relation to your children or to your good friends. Try making a list and be honest. You don't have to show it to anybody.

Then think about what would happen if you stopped doing these things. Would these people stop liking/loving you or what? It's very interesting what we can find out when we question the things we do for love.

And sooner or later we discover 3 things: 1) Love is our nature and 2) There's nothing we can do to make people love us! 3) People either love us or they don't...

Have fun!
