Raising your vibes

December 1, 2022

Who is rubbing off on you?

You ever walk into a room for a meeting and you feel like you could cut the tension with a knife? Maybe there is a conflict going on or maybe no one is saying anything at all but you can just feel the negativity.

I remember taking notes in a senior leadership meeting at work one day. It was a 4-hour meeting with multiple presentations on the agenda. I was sitting next to Frank who was a senior architect. He was supposed to be speaking at 10:00 on the agenda but it was now 10:40 and the previous speaker was still answering questions.

It was around 10:15 when I began to feel anxious. The feeling was getting stronger and stronger as time went on but I couldn’t think of why I was feeling so nervous. I was just taking notes and typing away as I was wondering what my problem was.

It was 10:40 after I had been focusing on my anxiety for about 15 minutes when I realized it wasn’t coming from me!

It was coming from Frank! I looked over and whispered, “Are you nervous Frank?” He said “Yes! I was supposed to be on at 10!” I almost laughed in relief that it wasn’t me and I had discovered why I was feeling so anxious.

At that moment an announcement was made that we were going to take a break and I was so grateful when Frank got up and walked out of the room. I felt the tension ease from my body.

That was the first time I experienced picking up someone else’s “stuff” and became conscious of it.

As I began to study the law of attraction and learned that everyone and everything has a vibration, I realized that I could better manage my states by doing things and hanging around people that vibrated at a higher level.

This is super important for me because I am so sensitive in picking up on other people’s emotional energy.

If you are an empathetic person who can pick up on the energy of others, make sure you surround yourself with positive people, especially during the holidays.

Check in with yourself and question whether what you are feeling is yours or if is it someone else’s stuff. If it’s yours, feel it. If it’s not, do your best to shake it off.

If you are in a toxic environment at work, try to work from home as much as possible and see if you can change your situation.

Be careful about reading too many sad news stories.

If you have obligations that are dragging you down, make sure there is time for self-care in your day. You have to figure out what this means for you but if you want to talk about it, I’d love to chat.

Be more conscious of NOT taking on other people’s pain and treat yourself with compassion.

If you are struggling, call a friend, don’t stuff it. It will end up poisoning your system and you’ll end up sick or something.

Do what you love and love what you do. If you are thinking about making big changes in 2023 and you want some help with that, get on my calendar to see what it would be like to work with me. I help people step into the next best version of who they are at work. If you are ready for a transformation, let’s talk

Love and good tidings,

Maureen
