This weeks workshop we delivered at the BBC reminded me how easily people fall into the trap of having the energy sucked out of them by outside influences including close friends, family, loved ones, acquaintances, work colleagues and themselves if they allow it. If we don't 'plug the hole' and put a stop to it we end up taking everyones problems on our shoulders and forget about looking after number one 'ourselves'. By allowing outside influences to affect our moods we are effecting not only our health but our mental state and attitude towards others. We can feel constantly exhausted, bring on illness, become tired, irritable, lack excitement and energy. Making choices to get rid of these Energy Drainers should be our number one priority. Is it yours? We had great results working with our group. They were able to change negative thoughts to positive ones as they started to listen to themselves and their needs and not allow anyone or anything else to drain their energy. It takes time and practice to constantly keep reminding yourself who is in control of you. The more you do it the better the results and suddenly it becomes habit.
