Your Energy Doesn't Lie
Greetings everyone and welcome back! 🙂 And welcome to our new subscribers!
Today we’re gonna talk about one of my favorite topics, energy. When we can get a good grip on listening to our own energy, our life flows effortlessly.
They say the only thing that is constant in the universe is change. And that is no lie. When we were growing up, we’re taught to pick the (one) career, marry the person, then it’s happily ever after.
But life is so much more nuanced than that. Even if you do those things, you know that each situation has its own unfolding, evolution, and deepening that occurs.
That’s what I want to talk about. An easy way to see if something is right for you, or if it no longer is.
What I propose is we ask ourselves, is this life-giving or life-draining for me? It will literally answer every question in your life!
We waste a LOT of energy on things that don’t matter to us or don’t serve us or no longer serve us.
Here are some of the ways:
We say yes to things we don’t want to do
We say no to things we do want to do
We stay way too long in certain friendships or relationships
We spend too much time doing things we think we “should” do (or thinking about things we “should” do)
We spend way too much time giving to people based on what we “think” they’ll like versus what we actually want to give
I think we get our wires crossed when we don’t check in with our energy. It’s exhausting to live like that!
And I think we’ve all been there. But the reason this point is so important is because what we focus on grows. So if we keep spending our energy on things that don’t light us up, we end up exhausted and we attract more of the same. That just seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I want you to take an inventory of your life. On a scale of 1-10, rate yourself on how satisfied you are in this part or your life (10 being the most satisfied):
Home
Relationships
Self-love
Career
Location
Finances
Travel
Anything I’ve missed that you’d like to add
You may want to write this down, if you’re a paper and pen person like me.
To break it down further, ask yourself, what parts of each situation am I enjoying? Which ones are life-giving for me? Which are no longer life-giving? Which feel draining to me now?
Your energy will tell you exactly which ones. Instantaneously! Because it’s your soul that’s talking to you. We just have to listen.
Magic, right? If you find yourself not totally fulfilled in an area, ask yourself these questions:
In what ways can I offset some of the tasks or areas that drain me?
How can I protect my energy in some of these situations?
What do I truly want? How do I want to feel?
What makes me feel fulfilled, appreciated, and seen?
How can I readjust my boundaries to fit what I truly want?
Asking yourself these questions and realigning with your new truths helps you to manifest the life you truly want and are worthy of.
As you reset your boundaries, life matches opportunities, circumstances, and relationships to suit you. This can be already existing circumstances or new ones as well!
We stay way too loyal to things past their expiration dates. We’re supposed to change and grow, and not everyone or thing will be able to come with us. It sounds sad, but it’s also part of the deal of being a human on earth. Really though, it’s called a soul contract. We will talk about soul contracts on another day.
But it is on us to pay attention and listen. We really do know what lights us up and what drags us down, and all we have to do is check in to find out.
We live in a world of vibrations. Everything is energy at a microscopic level. Health, relationships, money, career, you name it - it’s all related to energy.
And how we spend our energy on things matters. Our energy is our most precious resource. It’s time we start treating it as such.
Some personal examples.
When I realized my energy was too drained to continue to work in healthcare, I stopped. When I realized I wanted a more even energy exchange in my friendships, I reset my boundaries to prevent emotional dumping.
When I realized the blue light from screens really drains me, I cut down on screen time by turning my phone off for a few hours a day. And I started reading exclusively hard copies of books. I also spend a lot more time outside in the sun, which tends to recharge me 🔋☀️
Make Your Energy a Priority
When you learn to listen to your energy, you can start to make the changes you need to experience a life you love. When your energy shifts in a more positive direction, the universe brings you more of what you want and then some. It’s actually amazing to realize that we are in charge of creating a beautiful and delicious life.
I say it’s time we get back in touch with our energetic body.
I’d love to hear from you - do you make it a point to check in on your energy? Where do you feel good about how you spend your energy? Where would you like to readjust?
Friendly reminder that it’s okay to not have a 10 in every department! That just means you are a human!!!
Sending so much love!
