Avoiding Negative Impact from Other People
Do you ever find yourself in a situation where the stress from others around you increases the amount of stress you are carrying yourself? Many people have interactions with certain friends, family members or co-workers where they find themselves exhausted and drained physically and emotionally. These persons can sometimes unknowingly be using you to de-stress themselves by loading their negative energy on you, while draining your positive energy!
Do you ever feel like your life or health are out of balance? Sometimes we are so busy it's hard to tell exactly where the changes may need to occur. There are many ways in which we can begin to make subtle changes that can improve our health and well-being to bring back balance.
Have you ever heard the saying "You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others."? I am not sure when that saying began, but it is much like the Airline instructions of placing your oxygen mask on yourself before your children. If you do not give yourself what you need, it becomes very difficult if not impossible to give care to others. This holds true for anyone in any kind of position or career. Myself being a mother and Nurse and Health Coach, if I do not make sure my basic needs are met, as well as replenished, my fire can burn out too quickly, and then it becomes difficult to maintain stamina to take care of everyone else in my life. I also find that in trying to help others when my own stores are depleted I tend to carry more resentment towards others and the situation I am in.
