We become energized when people give us their time because they are lending us their energy, their focus, their attention. If I can receive and reciprocate, those are the moments when I feel most energized, as opposed to spending a lot of time thinking about a problem or spending time thinking of something outside of myself without the opportunity for reciprocity. Then I’m just sending my energy away. And if I’m thinking negatively about myself, then I’m actively depleting my own energy. Judging and shaming ourselves zaps us of our energy. If we were all at a place of presence and sending out loving energy through ourselves (sending loving energy to self first) and receiving it openly, then we would all feel energized, seemingly effortlessly. Loving self and loving others both, through positive attention. We wouldn’t experience sensations of scarcity because we would feel full.
