Protect Your Energy

Protect Your Energy

Just as we strive to protect and conserve earth's energy resources we can strive to protect and conserve our own.

Become more aware of the impact of things, people, and activities on you and your energy.

What feeds you, charges you?

What drains and depletes you?

As you grow and become more sensitive to how things feel to you, you'll naturally grow dislike and be uncomfortable with whatever drains or negatively impacts your energy.

Yes, some difficult, draining situations.

Sometimes we need to let go of people, places, and behaviors that don't work for us anymore, that drain, exhaust, and deplete us.

Pay attention to the impact of certain people, places, behaviors, and events on your energy.

Pay attention to how you feel when you eat certain foods, drink certain beverages, go certain places.

Learn to listen to your body, your emotions, and your heart.

Be prepared to let go of some things and people along the way.

Be gentle with yourself while you do.

Learn to conserve your energy.

It is precious, valuable resource. --Melody Beattie

I celebrate myself today and know that my feelings are okay. I am me, unique and alive. --Ruth Fishel

Seems not long ago that I shared on this.  There are Energy Vampires out there, especially sick people who are using people, places and things.  I had a little woman, with small hands, put her fingers on my arm and I swore I had a whole in my arm when she took them away.  I had to look twice.  She had over 30 years in the program, but she was hurting.  She didn't ask, she just took.  She said, "Oh JoAnne, I am so glad that you are here."  It was at an AA meeting and she was my sponsor''s sponsor.  You just never know.

It is ironic that my son said to me today, "You need to keep up your energy mom. You need to do what you need to do to feel better. He said, "Like me, I ride my bike, I go to work, and I keep myself healthy, fit, and strong." Be careful that your words don't come back and bite you.

As they say, it isn't always what you are eating, although it can make a difference when we make healthy choices. It is about what is eating you? Our emotions can make themselves known physically.

When I went to hear a woman speak on intuitive healing, she said our pain in our feet and ankles, meant lack of security. Some days you just don't have a leg to stand on.
