Have you ever had a time when you felt like your energy just
wasn’t feeling right? Maybe you were extra cranky or feeling blue and there
really wasn’t any reason for it and you just didn’t know why.
That happened to me last week. I wasn’t actually feeling bad
realy but it seemed like things weren’t going my way. Everything that could go
wrong was going wrong. Things weren’t running smoothly. I was spilling things,
struggling, feeling frustrated, getting behind people who were going 10 miles
under the speed limit. Hello…it was testing my patience. I recognized that something was going on. I tried to leave my house to switch my energy, I even did a verbal coaching session with myself that actually did help my attitude but the energy still felt off.
After a couple of days of this I decided to go into my
records and see what exactly was going on. As usual, the information I received
was right on and helped shift my mood and my energy the very next day. Things
felt back on track and I was back in the flow.
Here are some tips you can try when your energy is feeling a
little out of whack. Some are for your home and others are for you personally.
1. Clean and organize- Pick a spot in your house
that could use a some help and give it a little makeover. It may be the place
you spend the most time in or the place you’ve neglected lately. It could be as
simple as cleaning out a drawer or cleaning your blinds. It’s not about
perfection, only progress. Ask yourself what would make this room/house feel
the best today?
2. Open your windows and doors- Let the fresh air
in and get the energy moving in your house. If it’s cold out, you can do
it for a couple of minutes. Think about what you do when you burn something in
your kitchen. You open up the doors and windows and fan the smoke out. Imagine you are fanning in nice, fresh energy.
3. Light some sage-Sage is great to clear the
energy. There doesn’t have to be any special kind of ritual. Just light it,
walk around your room and allow the smoke to drift into all the corners. For an added boost you can also express gratitude as you sage your
house.
4. Jump in the shower- Sometimes a quick shower can
get you in touch with your body and shift your energy. Imagine any stress or
tension being washed away and going down the drain.
5. Head outside for nature time- Involve all of
your senses when you spend time in nature especially if you only have a short
time. Breathe in the fresh air, hear the birds and animals, feel the warmth of
the sun or the cool breeze. Feel yourself connecting with the warm, grounding energy of the earth.
6. Finish what you start- Before heading onto a new
task be sure to complete the one you started. Energy can get muddled when there
are several different projects up and running at the same time. Just do a quick
check in with yourself before jumping into something new. Ask yourself, “Is
there anything that needs to be finished before I start this?”
Do you have any things you like to
do to shift your energy? We would love to hear them.
