Good Energy, Bad Energy 📈📉

In fact, I know you hear about these concepts all the time.

That’s because words like “vibes” and “energy” are used every day.

It makes sense – unspoken feelings apply to nearly all interactions with living things.

We are humans, and humans are deeply intuitive creatures, meant to respond and flow, alongside and within the natural world.

We feel things deep down.

When we know, we just know.

Even though we don’t always have the language to explain it, energy is loud.

We sense deep truths about others by feeling their energy.

Since our survival often depended on it, (way back in the day) we humans became psychics in our cerebral circles 🧠

Other times, a smile, a breath, or a simple gesture can spark something good.

There’s electricity in all of us.

And whether we realize it or not, we’re constantly forging the environment around us.

The thing is, we’re not always in control of the energy we put out.

It travels through mirror neurons body language, and unspoken looks.

Sometimes, just using certain words or thinking certain thoughts can stir up a negative frequency.

The mood is squandered as a result, and we have no idea that we’re to blame.

Examples of bad energy ⛈️

• Pacing
  It seems harmless, but it radiates anxiety.
  When someone paces, they’re whipping up this invisible turmoil, and it spreads.

• You might not even realize you’re internalizing it, but your nervous system (and everyone else’s) feels the storm.

Frowning or scowling 👺

A frown is contagious. One, glance and the mood shifts.

The room feels heavier. The whole situation changes.

Your friend checks their watch. Others awkwardly shift in their seat.

Is the night over?

More examples of bad energy 🙅🏽‍♂️

• Doomscrolling.

• Brooding.

• Shallow breathing.

• Negatively thinking.

• Biting your nails.

• Gritting your teeth or clenching.

They’re forms of anxious coping.

We behave this way when there’s a challenge at hand, or to avoid a problem.

Examples of good energy 🔋

• Movement 🌊

  Movement releases tension and creates momentum. It lets your energy circulate instead of stagnate, and when done around others, it invites a shared rhythm. Initiate a calm, controlled movement, and now there’s shared flow.
  

• Smiling 🤗

  A real smile opens the room. It tells people that you’re safe and approachable. They can breathe, relax and connect without you saying a word.

More examples of good energy ⚡️

• Clapping

• Talking

• Whistling

• Snapping

• Stretching

• Dancing

• Humming

• Deep breathing

• Bopping about

Practice these to neutralize the negative/stagnant energy you’re holding on to.

They will nourish your mind, body and spirit.

Energy isn’t karma. It doesn’t always bounce back at you immediately.

But it is environmental, and it is alive.

Energy builds up, and eventually must be dealt with by someone or something.

So the question is: What kind of environment are you creating?

Are you the storm, or the steady wind in others’ sails?

Is your energy the flow in the river of your being, or is it a leak in the reservoir?

Take a look at the way you move in space

The way you breathe, the way you respond to people in your life

Most importantly, when you walk into a room, notice the way you show up.

Because every space you walk into becomes an extension of your forcefield.

Energy is so powerful that it would sound mystical and woo-woo if it weren’t so obviously felt.

And even one drop of bad energy can poison something good that was flowing.

One smile, one slow breath, one kind glance can flip the whole room.

Now that you know the difference, you’ll start choosing with intention.

Positive choices that uplift and push experiences forward are considerate.

They demonstrate a sense of decency.

Be more decent for higher levels of good energy.
