Energy

Have you ever seen a person’s bad mood ruin a get together or some one else’s magnetic personality unleash a positive ripple of energy through a gathering, meeting or event, have you ever witnessed this. If a teacher is unbalanced and stressed, their class suffers. If a manager is overwhelmed and impatient the team is not unified and powerful. If Mom and Dad is depressed, out of shape and disconnected from their life purpose, the family becomes stagnant and void of bliss and growth. If teachers feel disconnected from the passion they once had for teaching, the students suffer.
How do we stay energized eating the right foods, drinking the right drinks, getting enough sleep? Filling our day with right things that make us positive rather than negative. Our jobs, the music we listen to the people we surround our selves with. Rather than looking for the things in our lives that will energize us, we should be looking first at the things that are causing our energy to be leaking or draining us.
Things we can do! Create, Have fun, Peace and Quiet / Meditation Just do things in silence let your spirit speak to you, listen to your thoughts and emotions figure them out. The music you listen to, the words in the song, the words we hear spoken and we speak. If we tell a child they are lazy and selfish those words will stick with you. Every word that is spoken is set into motion, which will be a cause and effect. Be careful what you say.
It is unbelievable how negative energy spreads. Positive begets positive. Negative begets negative.
Just as Gandhi said, BE the change you wish to see in the world.
