And while is is impossible and unrealistic to create a completely stress and annoyance free existence free life… “and then what did the hippopotamus in your dream say, Martha?” … we do have the opportunity to choose how we react and to what we react.
Now, the point here isn’t to say that we all need to stay in our own personal bubble and avoid people, places, traffic, long lines, telemarketers, and a co-workers boring story about the dream they had last night. To whom or what are you giving your energy? With each new sunrise, we have the choice as to whom or what we give our energy. Deliberately putting ourselves in toxic situations.Managing everyone else’s lives but our own.Stressing about the things we can’t change.Are we being conscious about it? Think of all the energy drains that we let into our lives – the things we let in that destroy our serenity: And if I am trusted to actually wash one of these items, the family will look on, faces grim and eyes clouded with apprehension as I brandish Great-Grandma’s rhinestone-studded goblet in my slippery, sudsy hands.Įvery day we make choices as to who or what is getting our energy. No family heirlooms, good China, or fancy champagne flutes stand a chance in my hands. I used to have a favorite mug – a rainbow unicorn with these words etched into the side: “Don’t ever let anyone dull your sparkle.” I say “used to” have a favorite mug because I broke it. Sound like a pattern? Learn how a broken unicorn mug inspired me to not let anyone dull my sparkle! When we become stuck in the cycle of always reacting and giving away all our energy, we are no longer present and participating in our own lives.
