Using Our Energy Wisely

bubblebathselfempowerment

I’ve been writing a lot about focus and that’s because the past couple of years I’ve had major life lessons that showed me very directly that if I continued living the way that I was, I’d continue to spiral down in anxiety and depression.

I’ve read about energy healing work in the past but I don’t think I truly got it.  The lessons I learned made me understand, and I’m glad I went through them because now I’m beginning to see the effects.  The effects are not so much in the material world (yet), but that I feel so good.  I believe that because I feel good that the material effects will materialize in time.  I feel it’s good progress because it’s been a bumpy recovery.  I will sometimes find myself slipping back into anxiety and/or depression (due to worry or overthinking) and will have to work myself back to being focused and present, but I can stay there for a longer time now.

Before I went through these lessons, I would get tossed around by whatever was going on in my life.  I had a boyfriend that didn’t treat me right. My mom has cancer and I’d worry about her and my dad. I was self-employed and couldn’t focus on my work or how to improve it so it would be a success.  All I could do was obsess about whatever drama was going on while living life on auto-pilot.  I felt like things were happening to me, but they were all situations I chose to be in or chose how to react.

I chose to try over and over again with the boyfriend.  I chose to feel like a victim when something went wrong.  I chose to worry about everything and everyone.  I was consumed by all of this.  All my energy was spent on situations that didn’t serve me.

It got to the point that I had to go to work because my business failed, my house was a disorganized mess (I did clean and straighten daily, but pushed things aside for when I had time to deal with it and it added up), and I was an emotional mess.  I was not happy.

But I’m glad I went through it because I wouldn’t have learned to understand energy so well.

I realized that because I was always overthinking everything, there was no room in my head for new ideas, creativity, new dreams and goals, inspiration.  I was so in my head that I was like a zombie and didn’t even notice beautiful things happening around me.  Who knows how many opportunities passed me by.  So instead of moving forward with dreams and hopes, I was spiraling down into anxiety and depression.

It’s SO important to notice what we think about and how we spend our time.  If we are present and working on our dreams, then great!  But if we are constantly anxious, worried or depressed, we should become aware of how we are thinking and spending our time, then work on ways to think differently and that will serve us.  I’m not saying it’s the cure to anxiety and depression, because I don’t know all there is to know about them, but I do know that it helped me.

Here are a few of the products available with my art printed on them (by clicking an item you like, it will take you to the page where it’s available). They’d make great gifts to yourself or someone you love and would help support my dream of becoming a full-time writer and artist. Any purchase would be SO appreciated, but if you don’t want to or can’t, that’s totally fine. Just stopping by and reading my blog is a huge support.

The pandemic brought a lot of awareness to me about climate change, food shortages, how quickly our hospitals could colapse and more. This has sent me on a mission of becoming self-sustainable, empowered and working to help heal the earth. That is what the focus of this blog has become. The main way I'm working at this is through building a food forest and documenting as much as possible in hopes to inspire others. The more of us that do this, the more it will help heal the earth. When we buy produce from the grocery store, it was grown through monoculture, and that leads to use of chemicals that goes onto our food and into our planet, destroying soil. If we grow our own through permaculture (a food forest), we give the soil health. We also give ourselves health by growing organic foods and herbs that contribute to our health. There's a lot more to this, but this touches the surface. I'm only one year into this but my food forest is growing. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

    1. It can be so challenging at times to be present, especially when something traumatic is going on. I can be a worry-wart, but I’m trying to change that because it never does any good. When we relax into the present moment, all is well and we won’t send ourselves into the downward spiral. I appreciate your comments! 🙂

  6. Great post!
    In my opinion, the first step is to be aware, as you had mentioned in your post. A lot of people like to brush aside issues that they aren’t sure how to handle, probably myself more than most. However, being aware allows you to really analyze where you are and where you want/need to be. I have found in my personal experiences that the strongest of people are the ones who become aware of their situation, and then empower themselves to change it, allowing them to be a stronger version of themselves.

    1. I totally agree that being aware of a situation, and learning all we can about it is a way to empower ourselves. It sure can be tough getting through some of the situations like hands us, but you’re right – we end up being a stronger version of ourselves. Thank-you for commenting! 🙂

  9. I agree 100% we also have to watch who we hang around with as we are all energy and people can sometimes drag you down. We attract who we are.

    1. I had not been conscious of energy drains until my last boyfriend. The amount of energy he required and that I take responsibility for giving him, really messed up my life. It was a huge lesson and now I spot energy drains/leaks much more easy and am seeing positive results in my life from nipping those drains in the bud. Thank-you for visiting and commenting! 🙂
