The Power of Your Energy: Taking Responsibility for How You Show Up
We often talk about self-care, communication, and personal growth, but one crucial aspect of our presence in the world that is rarely discussed is our energy—the frequency we operate in and the impact it has on our surroundings. The truth is, we are all responsible for how we show up in the world, not just through our actions and words, but through the energy we bring into every space we enter.
Energy: The Invisible Force That Shapes Our Reality and Energy Never Lies
Everything in the universe, including us, is made up of energy. Our thoughts, emotions, and intentions carry a frequency that influences our well-being and the people around us. Energy never lies—the way people present themselves, or pretending to be a certain way, often does not match their true energy. That’s when we notice something is off, though it may be hard to grasp. You can never hide your true energy—your true intentions—behind a facade. Whether we are aware of it or not, our energy speaks louder than our words. It is the unspoken language that others can feel and respond to.
Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the tension, even before anyone spoke? Or met someone whose presence alone made you feel lighter and more at ease? That’s energy at play.
Are You Polluting or Elevating the Space?
Too often, we enter spaces without considering the energy we bring with us. We carry stress from our day, unresolved emotions, and negativity, unintentionally polluting our environment and those around us. We all have moments when we are overwhelmed, but the key is awareness—recognizing when our energy is affecting our surroundings and taking responsibility for shifting it.
It's normal and okay to feel off; it doesn’t mean you should suppress your emotions or pretend everything is fine. The goal is not repression but acknowledgment. It's about learning to recognize when something feels off and having the awareness to take responsibility and do something about it. Sometimes, that means sitting with yourself, going for a walk, doing nothing, calling a friend, or seeing a therapist.
There is a difference between allowing yourself to feel this way while taking responsibility and ignoring those feelings—running around with negativity and polluting everything around you. Do you understand the difference? It is so important to learn this.
Instead of unconsciously dumping our energy onto others, we can choose to be intentional about what we bring into the room. Are we spreading love, kindness, and openness? Or are we bringing in resentment, irritation, and chaos? The energy we emit is contagious, and we have the power to elevate or drain those we interact with.
How to Take Responsibility for Your Energy
Check In with Yourself – Before entering any space, take a deep breath and assess where you are energetically. Are you feeling anxious, angry, or scattered? Acknowledging your emotional state helps you shift it if needed.
Regulate Your Energy – Engage in practices that help you balance your frequency: meditation, deep breathing, movement, grounding exercises, or simply taking a moment of stillness before engaging with others.
Set an Intention – Consciously decide how you want to show up. Instead of letting your emotions dictate your energy, set an intention to bring calmness, positivity, or presence into the space.
Protect Your Own Energy – Just as we influence others, we are also affected by the energy of those around us. If you find yourself in a space with heavy or negative energy, practice grounding techniques, set energetic boundaries, and avoid absorbing what isn’t yours.
Practice Energy Hygiene – Just like taking care of your body, taking care of your energy is essential. Engage in activities that cleanse your energy field, such as spending time in nature, journaling, breathwork, or surrounding yourself with uplifting people.
Taking responsibility for your energy is not just about self-awareness; it is an act of self-respect and respect for those around you. When we become intentional about the energy we bring into the world, we create healthier relationships, more harmonious environments, and a greater sense of inner peace.
