Protecting Your Energy

You get to choose how you feel.  However, other people often try to steal your energy or cause you to shift your thinking which in turn changes how you feel.  For example, maybe you were super excited about a goal you were working towards only to hear from someone else that it’s not a good idea.  Your fears, worries, and doubts are triggered.  Other people try to crap on your mood, ideas, and energy all the time.  Your job is to decide how you really want to feel in life and protect that energy at all costs.  Protecting your energy isn’t easy but it can be done.

What You Want

Start by identifying the energy you want in your life.  Get crystal clear on the feeling you want.  Maybe this is to feel a sense of peace, love, worth, enough, approval, happiness, safety, etc.  Decide what you want to feel more of in your life.  Acknowledge that you are worthy of that feeling.  You deserve to feel good in your life.  Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or try to take that away from you.  You are smart, capable, strong, and entirely worthy of living an incredible life.  You are a magnet for what you want so get clear on the feeling you want to attract more of in your life.

Generator

Next, work to generate more of that feeling in your life.  You have the power to give yourself the feeling you want.  Often times, you seek that feeling from an external source.  You hope that someone else will give you that feeling.  But, you can generate this feeling internally at any point.  In fact, you can feel this way right now.  You don’t need anyone else.  You get to choose how you want to feel.  Give yourself that feeling today by doing things that evoke that feeling.

Magnet

When you start feeling the way you want to feel, you’re sending that out into the world.  You’re communicating with the universe that you want more of that feeling.  The universe responds to the energy you put out into the world by sending you more of that energy.  You are a magnet for what you want.  Pay attention to the feeling you’re sending out into the world to make sure that’s what you want more of.

Protection

Then, your job is to protect that energy.  Throughout the day, observe any energy vampires who try to suck that feeling right out of you.  Maybe you notice your mood changes, you feel drained, heavy, exhausted, unhappy, anxious, fearful, etc.  When you find your energy is shifting, you have the power to take back control.  You don’t have to let the negative energy take over.  Remember, your job is to protect the energy and feeling you want to have.

Bell Jar

The best way to protect your energy is to take a few deep breaths and center yourself.  Next, visualize a big ball of bright light emitting from your stomach.  See this light continuing to grow and expand until you are completely encased in the brightness.  Then, envision a bell jar being placed over your head, encasing your entire body to keep you safe and protected.  The negative energy that is outside of the bell jar is only reflect back outwards.  It cannot penetrate through the glass.  Your internal light, energy, and feeling are fully protected within protective armor of the glass bell jar.

Boundaries

People will still try and steal your energy.  That’s when you need to set some boundaries.  Perhaps that’s limiting the amount of time you spend or avoiding these specific people entirely.  Make decisions that honor the energy you want to protect.  Occasionally that means hurting someone else’s feelings or saying no to certain things you feel obligated to do.  Respect yourself and the feeling you’re trying to protect.  Set some boundaries.  This is your life and you get to choose how you want to feel.  Put yourself in situations that protect and honor the feeling you want to have in your life.

You are a fortress of light.  Learn to protect your energy at all costs.  Don’t let the darkness and negative energy creep in.  There cannot be darkness when there is light.  Shine your flashlight outwards towards the darkness.  Be a beacon of light.  Protect your energy and the feeling you want to have in your life at all costs.  Regardless, if it hurts someone else’s feelings or causes you to miss out on an opportunity.  The universe will send you better aligned opportunities because it responds to the energy you put out into the world.  Get clear on the feeling you want in your life and protect that energy.
