Energy sensitive

Who are you spending your time with? Are you connecting with people who are learning and growing and speaking hopefully about the world or is your company a drain on your energy? We have people in our life that need us but we get to dictate how much we let that person's mood affect us. Saying things like "I am sorry things are going bad for you" or "it must be hard to think so negatively about something" might release you from owning that person's troubles. There are some attitudes and values out there that are so far removed from our own, once in awhile it is nice to find people who think more like you do. It can ignite new ideas and form bonds that might be a nice break from the hard work of dealing with more negative people. Write down a list of all the people who bring happiness to your life and note down any that create the opposite feelings. You may notice you have only one or two difficult people in your life but recognize the power you might be allowing them to have. Choose to connect with positive as much as you can. How do you handle those difficult people in your life?

  1. Haha, it's kinda funny because I think I handle difficult people very well. There are many different kinds of negative, and being that I work a lot of hours with mostly other men and that negativity is basically insane. I tend to get along with those more aggressive folks because it's simply easier. Their testosterone doesn't bother me, and because it doesn't bother me it holds no power over me thus they don't do to me what they do to others. It's an interesting thing the way people act and the way people act in groups or with certain people. I soak it all up because people interest the shit out of me, even the assholes of the world. Sorry for the mini rant, I feel what you're saying.
