How does one overcome the animal soul? Step 1: the Shema. Thinking about how powerful Hashem is, and then how He puts it all aside to spend time for me. This will evoke a reflective love for G-d. 2. Think of all your requests for compassion, which evokes a realization that Hashem is there for me in all aspects of my life. When we feel G-d's love daily, we will naturally feel the love back.
