Protect Your Energy

It took me a long time to understand how important it is for me to protect my energy, and energy I allow in my surroundings. I say this, also accepting the moments in which I myself, am the bad energy. Whether or not we like to admit it, we feed off of others; we are emotional creatures by nature, and our mindset is a very vulnerable place. There are different ways to regroup; I always start with prayer, but you can also meditate, or exercise. However, most importantly, you have to set your emotions aside to find the root of this bad energy. Is it you? and if so, take a moment of silence (so you don’t take it out on others). Do not beat yourself up about it, so you don’t fall into depression; start fresh as if you were just born, because living a positive lifestyle/mindset, is about focusing on the solution; never the problem. Now, if someone else is causing this bad energy; you can try first by making them aware of how they are making you feel, but it doesn’t mean they will be understanding, or truly care. Their actions after your attempt will decide for you. Is it worth risking my mental health by keeping this person around? Am I the right option to help, since I’m working on my own peace of mind? If it’s family, or someone you love; create the needed space and time as soon as possible, so you don’t completely destroy, and regret later. If you’ve been betrayed or view this person as an enemy; is revenge worth your energy? Your energy consists of a lot; we are talking about our thoughts, feelings, the way we will sleep at night, the way we will feel when we wake up in the morning, our productivity during the day, the outcome at the end of the week, goals, dreams, blessings and a genuine smile. This should always be the real and most important mission, because the rest will always fall into place, as long as, you protect your energy.
