Protecting Your Energy




“Energy is your most precious human resource.” - Susannah Seton

Most of us are barraged by some kind of “bad” energy every day, whether it’s from traumatic news stories, mean classmates and coworkers, or just scrolling through our social media feed, food, and exercise, also our thoughts, emotions, and interactions with others affects our energy and our energetic field. It’s never easy to be around negativism. But beyond that, it can be quite toxic and detrimental, fostering a mindset of cynicism, fatalism, and even defeatism.


“How do I protect my energy from negative people and situations?

  • Take care of yourself. You can’t care for others if you can’t care for yourself. It is not selfish or vain to love yourself, take care of yourself, or to make your happiness a priority. Learning and practicing self-care will help keep you grounded and strong when you’re faced with negative energy.
  • Find the optimistic viewpoint in a negative situation- Negative energy is draining and sadly, it’s all around us but keeping a positive vibe does so much.
  • Stop trying to fix everyone and everything. If you find yourself doing for other things that they could and should be doing for themselves, you’re not helping but enabling. Sometimes we can unintentionally produce negative energy by carrying people when they know how to walk, or we try to fix people when they weren’t broken, to begin with. Learn when to stay clear.
  • Learn to say no- We often agree on things we don’t want to do because it has become a pattern in our lives. Saying no is not hard to do, and it’s even easier if you practice. It’s not unusual to feel awkward and pretty awful right before you say “no.” But those feelings won’t last long because after, it’s not that a load will suddenly lift from your shoulders, it’s that a load won’t land on them, and that feels good.





  • Add value and positivity to someone else’s life- What you give them and how you treat them is what you’ll get back. And the way you treat others and how you think of them also tend to have a big effect on how you treat and think about yourself. Not from everyone. And not every time, but what you send out there matters a whole lot.
  • Surround yourself with good vibes. This can be your friends who just get you, people or places with great energy, or just doing things that make you feel good.

So don't let anyone mess with your flow, keep the positive energy going.

No, Stop Asking For It

The only permission, the only validation, and the only opinion that matters in our quest for greatness are our own.” Dr. Steve Maraboli You might be broke and broken or have random questions like... Am I good enough? Or even smart enough? Beautiful or handsome enough? Why don't I feel content with what I have? I don't see myself talk more about the world seeing me.  One thing you should know is that the world didn't give you permission to be here or even yourself asking to be in the world either. But some of us are still asking for permission but sometimes you have to stop asking for permission, but give the world notice that you have been here, give the world notice that you have played politely long enough, and now it's time to play full out.

Practice To Be More

“I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. The practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired.” ― Martha Graham
