Recently my energy was zapped. I analyzed the reason for this energy drought and realized that I had been with a person whose focus was negative. He had no idea about his affect on me and others as he lamented life's woes. This person's negativity was not aimed at me, but instead aimed at himself. he clearly wanted to be better and was disappointed that he was not living up to his personal goals and ambition. Yet, the man had many gifts to appreciate and his persistant negativity was taking down the people around him too.
We can all be that person from time to time. We can be negative about our own progress or efforts. Yet, we truly have to keep that negativity in check so that we don't deter our efforts and the efforts of those around us.
As we think about energy management, our mood, emotions, words, and outlook greatly affect the energy we have and the energy we transmit. It's better to uplift those around us and raise the good energy than to dampen and depress the energy within and around us.
How can we do that?
Keep the negativity in check
Of course we'll be disappointed with ourselves and others from time to time, but we have to keep that negative energy in check by acknowledging our gifts and good living, and sharing the negativity less often.
Focus on the positive
Focus on the good around you and acknowledge that good. That will raise the energy everywhere within and around you.
Onward.
