On Negative Energy and Dealing W/ It

Thoughts?
I love her content merely for the sake of the sense of self-empowerment it helps me create in myself. I don't agree w/ everything that's said, but I sure don't disagree w/ all of it either. I pick and choose what works for me in my life and according to whether it aligns w/ my goal(s) for myself and I let the rest go.

I do want to say a thing though. It's okay to put yourself in positions where people dump their negativity on you. Not because you're scum and you don't deserve any better, but because taking someone's negative energy from them makes their life easier and yours richer (in experiential learning).

I could go on and on, but my stash of cleaned laundry beckons to be hanged for drying 😅😂

Disclaimer: Point is not to avoid absorbing negative energy as much as possible 'cause it's going to come by anyways. If not from others, then from your own self. Que all the Stress, Anxiety, Depression etc. symptoms. Better to be intentional about taking it in and practicing gracefully it letting go than running away from it and still having to deal w/ it.

Only then, it's going to be more difficult and painful to process.

Point is to come back to a state of joyous serenity regardless of whatever may be happening within or without you. Point is not to run away from opportunities to help someone feel a li'l better, more hopeful and understood as an individual. Point is to intwntionally set out on a journey to learn and master the art of emotional management.

Tip: If you can take someone's negative energy away from them w/ out letting it affect your being, then you do it.

Simple.

Who's to say anything about energy anyways?! Negative or positive. It's transferable, and no one's obliged to keep either of it pent up inside themselves, especially not if it helps to let it out. So, let it out, people. Let it out to yourself, to a friend or to the world. Utmost priority should be to NOT hold it in. 'Cause that's Step 1 to an eventual emotionally traumatic tragedy.

But yep!

Make space for better and more by becoming more open to sharing, to experiencing, to learning, to life.

Being open is a good thing.

Related: Give priority to sharing the good. I say this to one of my best friends sometimes, I say, "Khushian baanto" (Share happiness/ positivity). But can you really share something you have yet to cultivate enough of?

Now, that's the more important question, no?

I guess the ultimate priority consequently becomes to invest in cultivating real positive energy in yourself.

And once you have the skill of doing that under your belt, being a negative energy dumpster for others ceases to matter.

Ceases to matter because you simply get right back up the first chance you get after having your energy drained.

Not to mention, you sort of get super-comfortable w/ exercising your boundaries and being fearlessly honest.

It's a push and pull na.

Daily life is basically a cycle of transfer of negative and positive energies in and out of ourself. It's not about balancing work and play as much as it's about maintaining energetic equilibrium regardless of the kind of actions you engage in.

Essential teachings accumulated in different manners, but yep!!

Comes down to taking personal responsibility for your own health, sanity and happiness and doing the best thing you can in any one point in time. Eventually, those single points in time (i.e. moments) add up to an entire lifetime lived in the best manner it could've been.

Simple stuff, but yep!

Laundry.
