Do you absorb other peoples’ energy?
For example, you wake up in the morning feeling happy and excited to start your day. Then you realize your partner is upset about his day, his work, his stresses and is in a negative mood all day. What happens to your energy?
If you answered that it goes down, you are not alone. It can be difficult to stay in our own good energy when someone very close to us is struggling, upset, depressed, angry, etc.
When you do this though, you allow someone else to have control of your energy and mood.
And since now you are both in a low energy, it tends to last longer.
What can you do?
It is natural to want to support and give compassionate understanding when your partner is going through a difficult time. You can do this and still stay in a positive high energy. In fact this is not only good for you, but good for him and the relationship.
Why?
He knows he is not feeling great and is suffering but he would not want to cause you pain too. He doesn’t want to feel like he is responsible for your low energy.
And when you can hold on to this high energy, it is contagious. So staying in a high vibration can ultimately help pull him out of a slump.
How can you do this?
Take a deep breath and visualize yourself in a great big bubble. Visualize this bubble with a shimmering magical quality letting only the good in and out. Feel yourself surrounded by good energy and allow yourself to feel safe and secure.
From this space, give compassion and love to your partner and support him in his struggle. And from this space, give compassion and love to yourself throughout your day.
Would love to hear how this works for you
