Taking Care of You

It’s easy to forget how special you are when faced with the stress and anxiety surrounding us.

Self love isn’t just a good idea, it’s a necessary inner strength that can get us through the toughest of times.

Self-love is something that you have to constantly work on, that’s because our moods and negative thoughts creep in.

As a result, our self-esteem can be unsteady at times but by your efforts the results is a game changer.

When  things are going well it’s easy to display confidence, to carry on as if there wasn’t a care in the world.

But it’s when things go wrong that our self-love, self-worth and confidence takes a hit.

But if you respect yourself with love and trust, you will survive and get through the storm. 

You will develop self empowerment to support and help you get through life’s challenges.

Self-love doesn’t arrive by a wave of a magical wave of the hand, it’s a work in progress.

Here are a few thoughts that you can reflect on to help you on your way...

Detach From Negativity

Do you ever feel like this?

It doesn’t matter if it comes from, friends, family, church, co- workers or the media, if you feel the negativity, you need to take action.

Maybe it’s time to detach from negativity and anything that creates it.

Only you can decide when it’s time to let go.

What To Do About Energy Vampires

Energy Vampires are people who have allowed their vibration to become so low that they need to “feed off” another’s energy in order to function.

They do this by constantly seeking attention, reassurance and by creating a lot of drama.

 

They also like:

• Playing the victim
• Never taking responsibility for their actions
• Getting their way using fear, guilt or manipulation
• Complaining in order to get sympathy
• Gossiping or creating drama
• Not returning favors or giving back
• Responding from their ego

We depend on our energy levels,so when our energy is constantly depleted and is not restored, it weakens our vibration.

You can usually spot an Energy Vampire by the way that you feel when you are around them.

Often you will feel very drained or depleted of energy and you may also feel physical symptoms like headaches or even stress and anxiety when you are around them.

You may also feel:

• A sudden nausea or stomach ache after or before the interaction
• Pains around the back, chest, neck and shoulders
• A throbbing headache or feeling “out of it”
• Feeling irritable, frustrated or angry for no real reason
• Being on edge or feeling like there is a heavy dark cloud over you
• Having unpleasant dreams about the person
• Anxiety, stress or guilt for no apparent reason
• Tightness in the chest or a shortness of breath
• Feeling intuitively uncomfortable around this person
• You feel fearful, unworthy, are unhappy

If you feel two or more of these symptoms after interacting with an individual, it could be that you are experiencing an attack which allows the Energy Vampire to drain your energy.

No one can take your energy unless you allow them to.

You have the ability to create your own positive energy force as you remain aware of what is happening and no one will be able to drain you of your energy or effect the way you feel.

If you do feel that you are surrounded by Energy Vampires here is what you can do to protect yourself.

Set firm boundaries and assert yourself when appropriate.

Distance yourself from the person.

Recite positive mantras and keep your thoughts positive.

Keep your aura clear, clean and strong.

Wear a protective crystal.

Sage your surroundings or yourself at the end of the day.

Avoid prolonged eye contact.

Learn not to react, stay neutral.

Energy Vampires like to dominate control over others. 

If you feel this happening, take a step back and remind yourself, even though you may have been pulled off course you can refocus and return to your path.

Take a deep breath, center yourself. 

Do not allow them to bring you down to their level.
