Energy Vampires…Back Off!
Posted by Heather Stallsmith | Filed under uncategorized
Energy vampires are people who mentally and physically exhaust you with their negative influences. These people can be friends, family, coworkers, or random people you come in contact with. You know that drama queen two offices over…yeah, she’s an EV. And to be honest, I think that at times, I’m guilty of being one myself. Aren’t we all?! The good news is that there are way to recognize and stop ‘em! Besides, if you know what to look for, you may not fall into the same category in moments of negative weakness!
So lets take a look at ways EVs drain that positive energy…
- • Intruding in your life and ignoring boundaries and privacy
- • Making a big deal out of nothing
- • Complaining about themselves…they like to vent!
- • Criticizing your hair, appearance, job, kids, partner, friends, etc…
- • Not taking “No!” for an answer
- • Being negative and encouraging you to do the same
- • Placing the blame for their problems on others
Looks like it’s time to drive a stake through the heart of these vamps! Here are a few ways to get rid of them without getting out the garlic!
- • Limit the time you spend with him/her
- • Learn ways to end convos when they start to go neg
- • Stay calm and detach…don’t let their negative energy consume you
- • Refrain from trying to fix them…they need to do that on their own
- • Practice walking away…the more you do it, the easier it is
- • Limit eye contact
- • Avoid being in close spaces with him/her
