5 Signs of an Energy Vampire
5 Signs of an Energy Vampire!
Having “energy vampires” or “energy sucks” in our lives can completely cloud our ability to see what we NEED, what we WANT and how to take ACTION to get there.
Most of the indecisiveness, uncertainty and complete inaction I have experienced in my life ALL has to do with our own energy becoming entangled with an energy suck (or ten) in our lives.
People we are trying to please so much that if we’re not careful, we can build our ENTIRE lives around trying to make them happy - everything from what we wear, who we date, how we spend our money and to our careers.
In its mildest form, energy sucks have you laying in bed at night second guessing something you said. In its most extreme form, energy sucks can take the form of toxic, manipulative and abusive relationships.
Here are 5 signs to help you distinguish who the fuck is an energy vampire around you:
You have to constantly change how you act to avoid conflict with this person
No matter how much you fucking try nothing is EVER enough
As soon as this person is in your sight or thoughts you feel immediately drained, tired, depressed or anxious.
You hold back from expressing your needs or wants to this person
You constantly feel as though you need to prove yourself
Luckily for us, there are some super simple ways you can start to reclaim your power from the vampires in your life -
Identifying a BOUNDARY you need to make - taking space, saying no to anything that doesn’t feel like a HELL YES, or expressing how you feel.
Spending time outside - hikes, bare feet on the grass, or a dip in the ocean or time with animals
Salt water baths
A grounding or restorative yoga class (have you checked out The Vault yet??)
An energy clearing meditation to help you clear out anything you’re carrying that’s not yours - like this one!
