Energy Vampires

There are a number of programmes on the Television that are in vogue that feature Vampires, I thought it would be a good metaphor to use for today’s newsletter.

There are three types of people in life; “Energy Providers”, “Neutrals” and “Energy Vampires”.

Energy Providers are those people that when you are in their company you feel inspired, motivated and challenged. They make you feel like you can do or achieve so much more and you feel a boost of physical and emotional energy. They will often be peope that have a strong belief in abundance, that there is more than enough of everything for everyone.

My advice is to seek out more of these people and spend more time in their company or talking to them in different ways (phone, text, email, chat etc.)

Neutrals are people you spend time with and just shoot the breeze, they neither make you feel more motivated or less inspired.

These people are fine in your life, they are the people you choose to pass the time with.

Now we come on to the dangerous Energy Vampires.

You will know when you are in the company of these people as you will begin to feel, down, deflated or depressed.

No matter how much you try to help these people (and I can say this from personal experience) they will not change. The reason for this is that they have sought a sense of power in feeling powerless and telling others of their woes, gaining positive feelings from wallowing in self pity.

I must make it clear that these Energy Vampires are very different from people who have genuinely fallen on hard times or people who genuinely need help as they will have a string of misfortunes that just seem to follow them around.

Not only do they seek solace in the knowledge that their life is awful, they will feel better if they can create rapport with and get you to think or feel the same way. They believe that there is scarcity in life, there is not enough of anything for anybody. This will be accompanied by a deep feeling of mistrust in people and that everyone has ulterior motives if they are doing something nice.

So remember an Energy Vampire needs to bleed you dry of your energy to survive. You could even do them a favour, so they can kill their own Vampire and be normal again and starve them of that energy and attention. But most of all seek out your own Energy Providers and take the action required to make yourself more happy and fulfilled!

I hope this newsletter has given you a little boost!

Take care,
