You're not always in a bad mood because of you. Sometimes it's not even your energy.
It's natural to pick up energy from the people and world around you.
When you pick up weighted energy, you might notice you're in a funk — your thoughts turn negative, there's a personal rain cloud over your head, and your mind feels stuck in an obsessive loop.
This can happen when someone throws anger at you — yelling, an angry driver, a tense interaction.
It can also happen through touch, if your work involves it — massage, facials, chiropractic, PT, hairstyling. No words need to be exchanged. You can still pick up someone's heavy energy the same way you'd pick up a cold.
3 tips to help:
1. Start your day by envisioning a bubble of light and protection around you. Declare: "No energy that doesn't serve my highest good can pass through this protection of love and light."
2. Bounce and shake your body while breathing deeply — 10 full breaths in and out. Pause. Feel. Repeat for a second round.
3. Take two sharp breaths in, tensing every muscle in your body. Release in two outward bursts through your mouth, letting your muscles relax completely.
When you know how to release what you pick up, holding space for others stops feeling like a threat to your own peace.
