Energy is like a rolling stone

Thoughts have energy. And we all give off energy every moment, every day.

There are those who pick up on that, fan it with discontent, or help it burn bright with possibility.

I ‘ve heard energies described in tradesmen terms.

“There are 2 types of people” my plumber said. “Drains, and Radiators”. It’s simple, but true.

How often have you felt totally drained from being around particular individuals, and then drawn to others like candles to a flame?

It’s their energy you are drawn to. Somewhere, your psyche knows it needs that brightness to help balance things out.

We feel great around some folk and plain deflated around others. I’m sure you can pinpoint who falls into which camp.

Pretty easy right, so why then do we give lip service to those what might take our brightness?

A year or two back now a colleague asked me, and others, to come in with her on a grievance she was pursuing at work. Would I join her in her ‘problem’? Did I see things as she did?

Honestly, no I didn’t. I choose to sort my own disagreements 1:1. I see no value in bringing in an outside voice to make a judgement.  I didn’t see things her way and knew the rolling momentum would draw others to her, as she moved through our otherwise committed staff contingent.

She lost her case. The disagreement was noted but bad feeling continued. 

She couldn’t let it go.Her low energy took over her sense of priorities and her mental health suffered the strain.

It starts small and can build without our noticing these energies.

Give them house room and they can rifle through your sanity quick as a wink.

Please don’t let them in. Push away any request at grievances. Stop the gossip. Don’t gripe.

Trust in your light and purpose to carry you through.

I carry a pink crystal in my pocket everyday.  It reminds me to keep my low energy close and to beam it out when it’s high.

You can’t give away what you don’t have. So work on your energy before taking on anyone else’s.

I have to do it that way. If I don’t, low energies in HMP would floor me.

How’s your energy today?
