Have you ever heard the word, “energy vampire?”
An energy vampire is someone who leaves you drained and exhausted after being in their presence.
Although this is a greatly subjective term to describe someone, it is an interesting concept that got me thinking about energy in general, and how we are all in a constant state of give and take with it.
As I grow older, I am increasingly protective of my energy, being conscious of how I expend, conserve, and generate it.
We are surrounded by energy; every living thing generates it. Developing awareness and creating intention behind how you work with the energy that is all around you can be an incredibly powerful tool.
Here is a list of some “energy givers” that we can all benefit from, and are so important to our overall well-being:
- Sunlight
- Fresh Air
- Movement Sleep/Rest
- Meditation
- Laughter
- Deep Breathing
- Listening to Music
- Hydration
Conversely, here are some “energy takers” to be aware of:
- Stress
- Resentment
- Lack of Boundaries
- Clutter
- Career Burnout
- Addictive Habits
- Avoidance
My challenge for you is to find some practical ways to integrate more “energy givers” into your busy schedule today.
Your energy is sacred, and you are responsible for how it is used.
