Every human being has the same amount of time in a day, regardless of age, geography, socioeconomic condition, or ethnicity: 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 86400 seconds. That appears to be rather basic. But why do some individuals appear to be able to do more, go on vacations, and be completely engaged in all parts of their life while yet having more physical, mental, and emotional energy? What gives them the impression that they have more time?
Meanwhile, the majority of us are just trying to make ends meet. Our day doesn't begin without a cup (or two) of coffee to wake us up and give us the energy we need to go through the morning. We prefer quick and fast snacks because we are pressed for time and want to hurry to our next meeting, activity, or assignment.
We lose patience as a result of the stress and demands we face at work. We are impatient, reactive, and hurried, and as a result, we make thoughtless errors or forget basic things. We're exhausted at the end of the day. We simply want to unwind, unwind, and unwind with a bottle of wine on the couch (or two, or three). We are overloaded and weary because we believe there isn't enough time in the day.
Emotional energy is the energy we get from our emotions, as simple as it may sound. Simply said, our energy is generated by our emotions, which vibrate at different frequencies. I understand if this seems a little "woo woo," but bear with me.
Consider a period when you felt thrilled and bursting with energy, as if you were on top of the world. Perhaps it was a job promotion or increase, your first kiss with your spouse, a trip to a foreign nation, or simply laughing so hard with your closest buddy that your stomach hurt.
High-frequency vibrations are the emotions of joy, love, passion, and excitement that you felt at the moment. You felt like you had an endless supply of energy in those moments—you could continue all night! Your energy was abundant because your emotions were high-frequency vibrations. You were vibrating at a high frequency!
Fear, sadness, melancholy, and insecurity are some of the lower frequency vibrations on the other end of the spectrum. Isn't it true that your emotional energy was low when you split up with someone you truly loved, got fired from your work, or were melancholy or unhappy at some point in your life?
Here are the most common things that drain your emotional energy.
1. Excessive worrying
2. Negativity
3. Guilt
4. Indecision
5. Overcommitting/overwhelm
6. Lack of healthy boundaries
7. Negative rumination
Our emotions provide us with energy. To put it another way, the emotions we experience become the energy we emit into the world, and the energy we emit tends to attract the energy we emit. The law of attraction states that "like attracts like" and "birds of a feather flock together."
Would you say that the individuals you surround yourself with are largely negative or good influences if you took an honest look at your life? Do they moan or do they cheer you up? The outside world serves as a mirror for you. It just mirrors what is going on inside of you.
There is nothing "good" or "bad" about this. There is no criticism here; it just "is." It's crucial to remember that now isn't the time for self-criticism. It's only a judgement of what is.
Make an honest assessment of your situation, finances, friendships, or any area you'd want to concentrate on. Is it all you hoped for and envisioned? If not, it's critical to evaluate some of your views, thoughts, and feelings about those topics. The good news is that you have complete control.
Because our energy is derived from our emotions, you have the ability to alter your emotions and hence your energy. "Emovere," the Latin derivation of emotion, literally means "move forth, agitate"—to send energy in motion.
So, let's start putting that enthusiasm to work! Here are five suggestions for managing emotional energy for mental health.
