How To Protect Your Energy From The Low Vibrations Of Others

Do you have someone in your life who never fails to bring you down? Maybe it’s someone you can’t avoid, like a co-worker or family member?

I know someone whose full-time job seems to be to find fault in any and every situation. Even happy ones. Without fail they point out something that isn’t entirely perfect, while ignoring the 99% of something that’s good.

My tolerance for this behaviour is very low. It leaves me frustrated and feeling drained. I even start having angry, imaginary conversations with this person where I tell them off for being so negative all the time. The irony is, of course, that I’m being negative myself in doing so.

That also means, that I are attracting this behaviour to myself.

So, in order the ward off the negative vibrations of such people, there’s some work we all have to do on ourselves. Trying to make the other person change won’t work. We have to.

Our own personal energy is our most important resource, so it must be protected at all times. Otherwise it’s wasted on people, situations and events that do us harm.

You guard your money don’t you? Your jewellery? You lock your car, your house, your apartment. You take care of everything that’s worth something. So, guard your energy like the priceless treasure it is.

Nurture positive emotions.

Treat them with the care they deserve. Appreciate them. Want to be happy? Spend time thinking thoughts that make you happy, and then thank the happiness that has arrived for you.

Spend time with people who lift your vibrations.

Do you know someone who lights up a room whenever they enter it? Their positivity is simply contagious. Everyone likes being around this person.

That’s the kind of person you can learn from. My husband is that person for me. I know whenever he enters the room, lightness and positivity will surround me. He’s just that magnetic. At least I think so.

And that’s fine. We all have our own preferences. So whoever lights up that spark in you, and it doesn’t have to be romantic, is someone you should be around. Or at least try to emulate.

When I look at my friends, I realize how funny most of them are. We spend a lot of time laughing. That’s the kind of people I like to be around.

Practice Mindfulness

Make it a deliberate practice to pay attention to your feelings. If you know someone is going to bring you down, imagine a protective sphere surrounding you, warding off all bad vibes.

Become super clear on what vibrations you will and won’t allow into your sphere of positivity. You are the guardian of your own vibrations. Time to take your place and stand guard.

Forgive yourself.

Low vibrations are contagious. Spend any amount of time going down a rabbit hole on social media and you’re sure to find people shouting at each other.

Spend a significant amount of time watching the news and you’ll become addicted to that too.

It’s like we can’t help ourselves sometimes. We like to enter these dark places from time to time. We love the drama.

That’s okay. Just give yourself a time limit, and then forgive yourself for succumbing to the lure of the dark side.

Bit dramatic, I know, but I’m sure you get the gist.

Look, I’m not saying any of this is easy. It’s not. It takes effort, practice, determination and self-control.

And sometimes we fail. We all do.

But you have to care, really care about how you feel, if you want more in life; if you desire more joy, more freedom, more peace of mind, just more of whatever makes you happy.

So make it happen.
