Are There Energy Vampires In Your Life?



I think we all have come face to face with an energy vampire. Especially this time of year. Make it a point to rid yourself of these people. Now is a great time to do it.

Just wanted to share this piece written by Stephanie J. Hale, an author/speaker, trader, and entrepreneur.

"Have you noticed how energy is contagious? If you go to a
motivational seminar or read an inspiring book, you come away
buzzing.

Then, after a few days, your energy levels start to fade again.
You need to find fresh ways to recharge yourself.

Millionaires are great self-motivators. They know they need to fire
themselves up every day - and they have strategies for doing exactly
that.

One of the easiest ways to lift your energy levels is to
surround yourself with positive people and engage in enjoyable
activities.

Here's a quick exercise you can do right now to help with your own
energy levels:

1. Make a list of all the activities that inspire and motivate you.
2. Make a list of your family, friends, acquaintances, and
business contacts who are uplifting and positive.

Once you've done this, write a list of the activities and people
who drain you.

Sometimes energy vampires will come in the guise of ‘victims'
- people with 'problems who never seem to do anything to help
themselves. As a caring human being, it's easy to think you can
help them by listening or offering advice. But if they're draining
you, you really need to reassess what you're getting out of
the relationship and whether it should continue.

Be aware of energy and the way it impacts on your life. Whenever
you meet a new person, tune in to their energy. Chances are you
already intuitively know who has positive or negative energy
just from their posture, facial expression or tone of voice.

Make a decision today to attract more 'feel-good' people into
your life. Within a very short time, you'll find yourself excited
and enthusiastic with very little effort.

To your success and fulfilling your dreams.

Warm wishes
