What's Your Energy Saying About You Behind Your Back?
A positive plus a positive always equals a positive. That being said, more often than not, you will attract the energy you put out. I'm telling you, no matter what someone is going through, if you greet them with positive energy, if you wrap your arms around them and transfer some of that energy to them; it literally and instantaneously can change their attitude or at the very least, it can brighten their day. When you are frumpy, bitter, or grouchy you are going to receive that energy in return. No one smiles at the angry person. No one wants to befriend the bitter one, and no one so much as speaks to the grouchy one. On the other hand, if you walk in a room with a great big smile on your face and joy in your heart there is not a person in that room that can deny you their good energy in return. Everybody you come in contact with is either going to give your positive energy a boost or dumb it down. We feed off each other's energy with every interaction so center yourself before you walk in a room, and know that when you interact with someone you should be checking out their facial expression too.Whatever you see is the physical interpretation of the energy you are giving off. Their face will tell you all you need to know about the energy you are dishing out.
So let's get real, everyone knows somebody that's a professional debbie-downer. (Take a moment to remove the mental picture of said person.) You know, the one that is always complaining about something, always at the short end of the stick, always beaten to the punch, always the victim of something, or consistently having the worst day ever, everyday. Somehow life has chosen to beat them up every chance it gets. Every time you speak to them there is a new terrible development. (You may want to accidentally (wink-wink) send them this blog.) Now, I'm not denying that life can be overwhelming, disappointments do not necessarily drop by one at a time, and tragedies do happen, but all bad things do not happen to one person all of the time. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to fix those people. The truth is, some people are just made that way, and don't realize they don't have to stay that way. Now, don't get me wrong, a little pessimism is healthy. Everything is not going to go your way, be great, perfect, or exactly what you wanted. Every day isn't going to be a paid day off, have perfect weather, and end with a smile, but there's nothing wrong with welcoming good things into your life, and you must be willing to give to receive. In other words, if you want good news, a good relationship, and positive things to happen in your life positivity is not something that should be lacking within you.
Now, I am not ignoring the fact that everybody has their ups and downs from time to time nor am I belittling their severity. I know everyday will not be filled with rainbows, gumdrops, and skipping, but some people choose to focus on the down time too often and for too long. Some people make a habit of giving their let-downs more power than they deserve. Truth is, it's a choice. You can choose whether or not you let the bad things or let-downs rule your life. Why overlook the many good things you have just because something did not go your way or as you planned? Bottom line, if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed every morning there is no wonder the rest of your day has no shine to it, and you really can not expect it to. Instead, make a conscious decision to approach every day like another opportunity for you to have, be, or do something awesome.
Once you have made it your business to start your day off on the right foot, remember these things:
1. All of your good vibes are not for rent. Do not make it your job or duty to remove the filthy cloak of woe from everybody else. You will not always be rewarded for attempting to brighten someone's day. Some people are perfectly content with being negative, bitter, pitiful, and just plain sad. Let those people be who they are, and do not waste your good energy trying to change them.
2. While a positive plus a positive always equals a positive, sometimes when a positive meets a negative, it equals a negative. You have to be very careful with energy and who you exchange it with because it goes both ways. We all have own problems or issues that we have to tend to, but some of us choose not to allow them to consume our day so you most certainly do not want to leave an interaction feeling negative because it rubbed off. You have to be able to recognize when it is time to change the subject, hang up (drop the call), get to that meeting you "forgot about", or just walk away.
3. Make a point to surround yourself with people that exude the kind of energy you want to have. Whoever is in your life that shows you support, encouragement, and generally counts their blessings before their failures is one you want to keep close because a positive + a positive always = a positive.
