Do You Energize People or Deplete Them?
Ahoy there! Happy September! As we round the corner into the last stretch of 2018, here is a simple tip for being your most energized and energizing self.
Interacting with others is an energy exchange and we have a huge amount of control over what type of energy we are bringing to the table.
Negative or unproductive energy can be depleting to yourself and others and is created by:
Thinking and talking about problems and drama
Positive or productive energy can be energizing to yourself and others and is created by:
Thinking and talking about opportunities and solutions
Of course, we have to think about and share our problems sometimes, but many of us go overboard, at which point it is unproductive and depleting to ourselves and others.
If you make a practice of steering your thoughts and conversation out of the problem and into the solution, you will find that you feel more energized about yourself and your life. As a result, you will bring more positive energy to your interactions, which will leave others feeling more energized as well.
Look at you! All positive n’ stuff.
