I still allow others to shade my day. It’s a human problem. I am actively and intentionally trying to shift this. Maybe it helps to think of energy like a bank. Or a nice little snack drawer.
What lead me to this thought was Dr. Caroline Leaf saying, “Frustration takes up energy.” That sounds basic. But it is so true. What are we expending energy on?
Allowing others to influence how we feel is like letting them come in and take from our bank or letting them steal our snacks from our snack drawer.
We should only give energy to that which deserves it. It’s time to take inventory of what is taking our energy (aka snacks).
