Where Are Your Energy Drains?


 
“Success is creating a state of mind that allows you to obtain anything you really want.”
-          Mark Victor Hansen
 
In order to create the life we want, it is extremely important, that we use our resources wisely! Being alive means there is energy flowing through the structure in our body – brain, heart, and nervous system. To the degree that energy flows through our body without being blocked or stuck – this is the degree we are fully alive and healthy. We are at ease because the energy is free to flow and move. When dis-ease occurs in our body, it is due to the course of energy, or life force, being blocked or damaged.
 
There are many ways we block our energy, and cut off our life force: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. 
 
Energy is priceless! Energy determines our health, and often is taken for granted until we become ill. To the level you have energy drains in your life, you will feel anxious, fearful, depressed, unmotivated, tired, scattered, overwhelmed and confused regarding your life’s purpose and how to fulfill it on a daily basis.
 
When you design your life by what your truly value, and begin to manage your life by your priorities, you will notice how much more time you seem to have and how much more energy you have to do what you love to do. 
 
Everything in this universe is made up of energy, whether it is manifested or not. Thought is energy. To think is to create. When we have a thought, that thought creates a similar energy in form. Have you ever heard the phrase, “like attracts like?” Within the Universe there is a natural flow of energy. When you watch the ocean waves move in and out, there is a consistency to the flow. Each year, seasons change in a predictable manner. This is the Universial Flow of nature.
 
When we are in stream with this Divine Universal Intelligence or energy, life is synchronistic, easy and ever moving forward. When we are out of the flow, it is because our energy is blocked. In this Universe, there is only the energy of love or the energy of fear. Energy flowing is love. Lack of love, or fear, blocks our energy. Love is anything we call positive energy. Anything that feels negative is simply a lack of love – or fear.
 
Becoming aware on how energy works, and then learning to re-align that energy will help you move into the natural flow of the Universe. Aren’t you tired of trying to swim up stream? I know I am. We are at our best, we are blessed, we are peaceful, we are energized, we are happiest when we are in our natural state of allowing our energy to flow freely from the Universe. From this current it gives us guidance, wisdom, peace, and joy.
 
We all know situations, people and/or drama’s we have gotten ourselves involved with, which drained our energy. It is so easy to observe in ourselves, when we pay attention to the right questions. 
 
What drains your energy?
  • What negative thoughts do you have consistently in your head?
  • What 3 emotions do you spend most of your day in?
  • How much time do you spend zoning out during the day?
  • What fears are you avoiding?
  • Where do you have clutter?
 
On a scale from 1-5 (5 being the highest of drains) – how would you rate these energy drains from other people:
 
  • Inflated Egos
  • Sense of Competition
  • Self Indulgence
  • Drama Queens
  • Dishonesty
  • Excuses
  • Lack of Integrity
 
What gives you energy? 
 
On a scale from 1-5 (5 being the highest of identified positive energy for yourself) – how would you rate the following:
 
  • Telling the truth
  • Speaking out
  • Being bold
  • Facing a fear
  • Clearing clutter
  • Taking action in any area you are procrastinating
  • Playing
  • Being creative
  • Exercise
  • Being grateful
  • Acknowledging someone
  • Appreciating yourself
  • Prayer/Meditation
  • Laughter
 
Keys to boosting your energy:
 
-          Keep your word with Yourself! Realize all you have is your word. All you are is your word. People breaking their word, even in the smallest of ways, causes breakdowns and blocks.
 
-          Don’t wait to get everything figured out to start – just dive in the middle and figure out the how along the way. Live moment to moment by your Values and life shows up to match those Values. 
 
-          Look for the Good in everything that happens. Embrace whatever is going on. When something/someone acts negative and drains your energy, including your thinking, act differently and positively – and watch the situation change.
 
-          Get your intention clear about what you want, and what you are willing to do to get it.
 
Your homework for the week: In order to free yourself from simple clutter in your life and get the ball rolling to clear blocks – throw away 25 things. Clear out your closet, clean out the garage – wherever your life has simple clutter, throw away 25 things and begin to set the intention of unblocking your energy and motivate yourself to identify what enhances your energy.
 
Cleaning up these energy drains in yourself will free you to live your purpose in life. Are you dabbling in a negative energy/environment? Your energy is your environment. This is made up of home, family, friends, acquaintances, pets, health, emotional state, financial state, care, fitness, and peace of mind. Commit to having an orderly environment and make clearing and uncluttered energy the order of the day.
 
Rock on with your good self and go to your destiny!
