5 ways on how to stop taking in other peoples negative energy

5 ways on how to stop taking in other peoples negative energy. Are you a sensitive person, capable of easily picking up other people’s energy? Welcome to the club! I am a person like that as well. One person has a higher degree of sensitivity than the other. The people who are having a high degree of sensitivity can almost read somebody else’s mind, or they maybe even can! This can be a very special gift, especially in today’s world where so many people are the complete opposite. Do you know what I mean? Desensitized, ladies and gentlemen. But this gift can also be a CURSE, because negative energy can also be easily taken in. Like a sponge absorbs water, we absorb every kind of energy, also the bad ones. 

What can we do to prevent ourselves from absorbing the garbage, the negativity from other people? 

1. Accepting yourself for a 100%

Accepting yourself for a 100% has a massive influence on the chance of you absorbing someone else’s energy. The chance of absorbing gets smaller as the percentage of self acceptance increases. You’ll be confident enough to not care what others think of you, leading to the fact that you won’t be a “people pleaser”. With being a people pleaser, I mean being a kind of person who makes their decisions based on what they believe will make other people happy. Remember that it’s impossible to please everyone. Just be your authentic self - that’s way more important. You’re the one in charge, having a choice, which bring us to point number 2 in a bit but first I want to mention an important part of accepting yourself, and that is to resolve your unresolved issues which are lying deep within you. Find out what needs to be repaired in your inner Kingdom and yes, that can be difficult! It’s difficult because you need to take responsibility. You need to heal old wounds and begin to reintegrate the broken parts of yourself to become your greatest version in order to accept yourself for a 100%. Sometimes we aren’t even aware of those wounds still being unhealed. An example is, that when we have a certain conversation with someone, and whenever they say a "specific something", an emotion is being triggered within us. We can even get upset. Then it's time to ask yourself "What has been triggering this feeling exactly?". You have found something on which you can work to resolve and this event might have seemed unpleasant at first, but actually it was a blessing in disguise. Do you know what I mean? Because it helped you find a part of you on which needs to be worked on. 

Ok, now we can move on to point number 2. 

2. Know you have a choice

Knowing you have a choice is another way how to stop taking in other people’s negative energy. You have the ability to choose of going where the other person wants to take you on an emotional level. Nobody can enter our inner Kingdom, without giving them an invitation. We have to keep in mind that consciously or unconsciously, we let people IN. But in the end it’s all up to us, because we have the power of choice. By being ALERT and CONSCIOUS, you can prevent unwanted visitors into your inner Kingdom. An example of an unwanted visitor is the energy vampire. Which brings us to point number 3 already. 

3. Keep energy vampires OUT

Some people literally drain all of your energy. They feed on your willingness to listen and care for them, leaving you without energy and maybe even feeling overwhelmed. What energy vampires do, is consciously or unconsciously evoke emotions in other people, so they can get energy from the triggered emotional energy. You have to keep these people out of your inner Kingdom, ladies and gentlemen. Remember that an energy vampire will be unable to “steal” energy from us, unless we consciously or unconsciously give them permission to do so. We give them permission by giving them attention. So the one thing we need to do is to stop giving attention to them. The moment you give them your attention, you open a door for them to come and get your energy. And the terrible thing is, that energy vampires are not only taking your energy when meeting them face to face. When you return home, you’ll keep thinking about them, which is only draining your energy levels even more. Stop giving attention to them and redirect your focus. Whatever we focus on, grows! Keep this in mind! Redirecting your focus is a great way how to stop taking in other people’s negative energy. That’s why it’s very important you are mindful of who you surround yourself with. Energy is contagious, my friends. Have you ever heard of mirror neurons? That’s the cause of the likelihood of you feeling happy when someone else in the same room is happy. Smiling is contagious, right? When someone smiles to you, without thinking we smile as well! Have you ever been conscious of that? That’s how our body is designed and it’s called neural mirroring, but it works also with a bad mood. When someone around you is grumpy as hell, chances are you start to feel grumpy as well! That’s why I want to emphasize the importance of being aware and present, because that’s the way how you can protect yourself from taking over those negative emotions from taking over you. Because after all, you are not responsible for how other people feel, which brings us to point number 4.

4. You are not responsible for how other people feel

Like I mentioned in the beginning of this blog post - we are highly sensitive people, easily picking up other people’s energy. But this does not mean we are responsible for how other people feel. You don’t need to fix their problems, or make them happy. It’s their job to do that. Happiness comes from within! They have to look deeply into their inner Kingdom and pursue whatever makes them happy. If you believe you are responsible for their happiness, they might start believing that too, consciously or unconsciously. They’ll feel disappointed if you don’t do the things which they believe making them happy, which in return will drain your energy. You might even start to experience toxic guilt - a feeling of guilt you are experiencing without having done anything wrong. Free yourself from this, and you’ll experience another great way how to stop taking in other people’s negative energy. Don’t let them control you. Also, talking about control, what is very important for me personally and which I just HAVE TO share with you, is to realize that when I get angry at someone, I am putting that someone in the driver’s seat, where I supposed to be. I am giving them control. If someone makes you angry, they have control over you! Don’t give anyone that kind of power, my dear viewers. Ground yourself. Breathe. Relax. Be in control. You are the leader. Being in control also brings us to point number 5, which is to take responsibility for creating your own reality. 

5. Take responsibility for creating your own reality

This is going DEEP ladies and gentlemen! Based on what we think and feel, we are creating our own reality. Remember that perception is EVERYTHING! Once you change your perception, you change your world. And the way we see ourselves, is way more important than the way other people see us. We must not allow other people’s perceptions to define us! What screws us up most in life is the picture in our head of how it is "supposed to be". Do not be fooled, my friends. Make the difference in your reality by loving yourself! I know it is hard these days with all the social media around us, and the television which tries to tell our vision, but don't let those things fool you. At this moment, this might sound crazy, you get connected through disconnection. Start focusing more on connecting to your inner Kingdom, and with like-minded individuals, instead of all these digital platforms. Of course YouTube should be excluded because you should totally binge-watch my channel, but you know what I mean, right? When you are grounded, aware and when you have taken responsibility for creating your own reality, you will stop taking in the negative energy of other people. They have no more power over you, simply because you found a way to decide what your perception will be. We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. That’s why it’s so important to be aware of the fact that you are a leader of the energy you send out, and therefore have the ability to decide which energy you’ll get in return. Ask yourself the question: “Which kind of energy am I sending out?”. 

These were 5 ways on how to stop taking in other people's negative energy. I really hope that this blog post serves you well. The negative energy of other people can be such a burden, and it's something that you just don't want to carry with you. Life can be so beautiful, and why would we let other people take away that beauty? That's what I thought.
