Don’t let an energy vampire bite u & drink all of your positive life blood. .Good News is ,I'll show you here How to send them off your way.
An energy vampire is a person in your life that sucks the positive energy out of you leaving you completely drained and unable to carry out the goals you’ve set for yourself.
These people constantly blame other people for their circumstances, complain about life, are self-centered and when you are done dealing with them, you are left physically and mentally exhausted.
Don’t let an energy vampire bite you in the neck and drink all of your positive life blood. Don’t do it. Take your power back.
Being a happy nice person sometimes makes you an easy target for an energy vampire. They want your happy blood. They have been known to manipulate their way into your life and suck the energy out of you until there is no more to take before moving on.
They are using you. They will leave you feeling weak.
First, you have to identify the characteristics of an energy vampire. Here are some common traits shared by those energy-suckers.
Each of these points is a form of energy-sucking, and if someone has more than one of these habits they are definitely someone you should caution yourself against.
The first step you will need to do is to SPOT THEM and here i will give you the 10 tips to help you do so effectively
- You feel emotionally drained or tired when you’re with them or when you’ve just left their company.
- When something is going right in your life they don’t celebrate with you, but when something goes right in their life they expect you to be excited for them.
- They’re instigators and they’ll stir up drama just for the sake of winning people to “their side.”
- Energy vampires act selfishly and will use guilt and manipulation as means to get their way.
- They love sympathy and will often complain and play the victim to get some.
- They don’t take responsibility for their life or personal situation, and believe they’ve simply been dealt a bad hand. They expect improvement will come from the outside, and they wait around for change to come to them rather than make it for themselves.
- Energy vampires believe their way of living is the right way, and think of others as “less than” if they make different choices or live according to different standards. Energy vampires will let you or other people know they disapprove of your choices, even when it’s clearly none of their business.
- They’re needy and constantly need reassurance
- . Energy vampires don’t have opinions, they have facts. Everything they say is true, even if it’s 100% not true. If an energy vampire says the sky is pink, the sky is pink. Don’t try to argue, cause that will suck your energy.
- Energy vampires are rudely honest & not in a cute “what a good friend” way. Example of a rudely honest vampire, “What ARE THOSE PANTS? Look’s like you stepped right out the 90’s LOL”. You didn’t ask, but they couldn’t resist letting you know. Worst part is- they probably LIKE your pants .
Does this sound like someone you know? If so, I’m terribly sorry. I’m pretty sure everyone has energy vampires in their lives, but knowing that doesn’t always make dealing with them easier. They are especially difficult when they take the form of a good friend, a partner, a parent or a boss.
The good news is that there are ways to deal with them.
First and foremost, you must identify the vampires and decide not to put up with their behavior anymore. From there you can use the following 7 techniques to protect yourself and your energy.
- Breathe and let it go. This is the quickest solution and can be applied the moment an energy vampire starts sucking up your precious energy. Realize their behavior is a reflection of them, not of you, and again- breathe.
- Imagine a protective aura around you. .The point is to imagine a physical barrier of protective energy, and when the energy-sucker’s words try to get through, imagine them evaporating or turning into a pleasant breeze or warm rays of sun. Whatever you do, imagining that barrier is like putting up a mental wall between you and the vampire.
- Speak up for yourself. Tell the sucker how their behavior makes you feel. A vampire’s reaction is unpredictable, but no matter what happens you’ll be bringing awareness to how you feel.
- When they start complaining, say “it must be hard to feel that way.”This simple phrase informs the vampire that you don’t share their point of view but from a sympathetic standpoint. From there you can move onto another topic. If the vampire wants to continue discussing their problems, simply repeat yourself, and add that you don’t share the same perspective and you’d like to discuss something else.
- If all else fails, reevaluate your relationship. There are a million reasons why someone could be an energy vampire, and not all of them are bad. The person could just be going through a rough time. However, their circumstance doesn’t warrant you giving up your energy. Put up boundaries, limit your contact and distance yourself if it becomes too much. It doesn’t have to be forever, just until the energy vampire turns back into someone you can be around- just remember it is not your responsibility to make them change. They have to do it themselves.
6. Never take anything they say personally no matter how personal it feels.
7. Don't be drawn into the Drama .
Slay the Energy Vampire with full courage & Live Happier.
See You Tomorrow with Way #58.
