“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” – Albert Einstein   I felt compelled to chat on this topic today- lots going on in life, so let’s discuss! Entitlement is a funny thing… in fact it’s an imaginary one, because when it comes down to it, we are not entitled to a damn thing at the end of the day. Let’s be clear, I am not talking human rights or social issues in general, I am talking about day to day, family, friend, work, relationships- life stuff. Society has set out a list of ideals for us that “we should do” or “should expect”, but we are here to gracefully disrupt those sold realities and dial back into our own awareness of what we do and do not need. Maybe you need up your protection of your own energy OR perhaps this is reminder not to unnecessary unload or expect something that is not entitled to you. Life ebbs and flows, we have all been on both sides of the coin, the magic happens in the shift back to center. On this cast I dig into personal responsibly and why it’s important to protect your energy. Specifically, we discuss 15 ways to protect that energy from MindFool.com and 5 specific ways to protect your energy if you are an empath from Dr. Judith Orloff, UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty. I have coached, managed, hired, and lead hundreds of humans and there is one thing I know FOR SURE: you have to meet people where they are at. Worry about what you can control and show up as your best self, everything else is on the individual. Be mindful of what you give and of what you take- the more awareness we can create the better it is for everyone. I hope my lessons can streamline some learnings in your life!   Article: Protect Your Energy in 15 Easy Ways  Updated on April 23, 2021 | Published on January 9, 2020  Reviewed by Nathalie Carden, Spiritual Healer We are energy beings surrounded by everything made of energy.
