Don't burden yourself with other people's issues
From a motivational perspective, energy is everything. The word motivation comes from the Latin word which means to move - and in order to move, be motivated, we need power and energy. Moreover high energy creates the platform for success.
Someone walking into the room who exudes positive energy, is magnetically attractive. People are not only immediately open to someone like this, but would be actively drawn to him or her. People with high energy levels get up earlier, embrace the day's activities with enthusiasm, and still have the capacity to socialise and network later on. Success and high energy are two sides of the same coin.
But most people live in the low energy band. Whilst the quality of our eating and overall lifestyles definitely account for this, emotional baggage is big contributing factor.
We are emotional beings, and this means we will all have emotional 'business' at all levels - some good, some bad, some finished and some unfinished. Usually we hide the bad and unfinished emotions away from ourselves, and whilst this might make us feel better in the moment, it drains our energy in the long run.
Coming to the highest possibility in our lives requires us to reallocate our energies to positive pursuits. This means revisiting unfinished business and then letting it go. One of the most effective ways to release a lot of 'stuff' quickly, is to understand what has really transpired, and then determine who owned the emotional problem to start with.
Let's put ourselves in the shoes of a child who has a very strict, domineering father who often shouts at his family. As a small child when someone you love and depend upon for your well-being, behaves like an out of control maniac, the emotional damage is great. The mere size difference between a two year old and a thirty-year-old man is intimidation in itself. The conflict of loving someone whilst at the same time as being terrified that they will hurt you, is nauseatingly confusing. A small child does not have skills to cope with this situation. They are moved into a place of unspeakable fear and terror.
But the worst part of this scenario is that the child is likely to assume responsibility for this situation, thinking the parent's bad behaviour was triggered by something he/she did wrong. In many instances, the adult openly blames the child for their bad behaviour, and erroneously these little ones believe everything was their fault.
In this way people get their negative emotional stuff mixed up, with one party carrying a whole lot of baggage that is not theirs at all. This dynamic is not confined to parent-child situations, but also takes place in the classroom (regrettably), between husbands and wives - and even the workplace.
Everywhere, at every moment someone is unconsciously picking someone else's emotional rubbish. An empowered person however becomes aware of this and quietly sets out to correct the situation. Next week I'll be telling you how.
If you feel too tired too often, maybe you're saddled with someone else's rubbish. Don't confront, don't shout, rather become quietly aware. Awareness is the first step to releasing yourself to new and heightened energies.
