Just as we strive to protect
and conserve earth’s energy
resources, we can strive to
protect and conserve our own.
Become more aware of
the impact of things, people,
and activities on you
and your energy.
What feeds you, charges you?
What drains and depletes you?
As you grow and become
more sensitive to how things
feel to you, you’ll naturally grow
to dislike and be uncomfortable
with whatever drains or
negatively impacts your energy.
Yes, some difficult, draining
situations are inevitable.
But we can learn to protect
ourselves in those situations.
Sometimes we need to let go of
people, places, and behaviors
that don’t work for us anymore,
that drain, exhaust,
and deplete us.
Pay attention to the impact of
certain people, places, behaviors,
and events on your energy.
Pay attention to how you feel
when you eat certain foods,
drink certain beverages,
go certain places.
Learn to listen to your body,
your emotions, and your heart.
Be prepared to let go of some
things and people along the way.
Be gentle with yourself
while you do.
Learn to conserve your energy.
It is a precious,
valuable resource.
(Melody Beattie)
