Be the energy that you want to receive.
Most days, I wake up with a positive attitude because I have a set morning routine. However, I have those mornings when I dread the day before it even begins.
Does this make me ungrateful?
I get mad that I didn’t get enough sleep or I already start to worry about my to-do list, and I didn’t even take a step out of bed.
Save your energy
When your angry, hold grudges, complain or even, stay silent when you want to speak up, you are giving away energy.
You may still be grateful for the life you are given. But do you have energy in your day or are you just going through the motions?
Part of building your confidence is conserving your energy for what fuels you. Ask yourself these questions (either now or come back to it) to understand what builds your energy:
• What makes you smile?
• What makes you laugh?
• What makes you feel burnt out?
• What motivates you?
• What inspires you?
Your energy is precious
The questions above can help you figure out where your energy should be spent. It should be spent on ways to make you happy.
Now, let’s dive more into where your energy shouldn’t be spent.
Most of us fall into two categories - introvert and extrovert. Despite if you scream and yell about things when you’re upset or keep to yourself, you are giving your energy away.
You give your energy or focus to those negative things.
You are giving energy to someone who you are upset with, and most often, doesn’t deserve your energy at all.
You are giving energy to your fears.
Energy attracts energy
If you want to attract positive, joyous energy in your life, you have to give that, too.
Do you want to be around someone who is grumpy all the time or always complaining? No.
That is draining.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
The golden rule is a reminder when it comes to your energy.
Many of us are quick to judge, quick to hate, quick to find the negative in others - and most of all - ourselves.
Treat others with love and respect. You will receive the same. Spread positive energy and love, I guarantee you will feel that energy come back to you.
I know it’s easier said than done. But just remember, it’s your energy.
I would much rather spend my energy playing outside with my daughter than being upset with a problem at work.
I would much rather enjoy dinner with my husband instead of dwelling on how I feel chubby in my jeans.
Perspective can change energy in an instance.
Keep working on building your confidence and saving your energy for important things in your life.
Stay simply confident,
