In today’s article, Surrounding Yourself With Good Energy Will Change Your Life. I will discuss the importance of good energy vs bad energy. Followed my easy to follow strategies to help develop your mindset into a place for good vibes only invitation!

Good Vibes Only

We’ve all walked into a room and got a rush of energy. A feeling of how that room feels without even speaking to anyone in it. You immediately get a feeling of should I be here or this is amazing. Sometimes we can’t always run away but our instincts are definitely in the right place.

Negative energy is consuming and can easily get into your mindset. It can change your whole outlook on your day if you let it. Progression in these settings stops to an immediate halt as gossip, bitchiness and evil-doing hang around in this setting.

It’s even known for your health to suffer from this with stress and anxiety levels skyrocketing. That’s why surrounding yourself with good energy will change your life.

Then there’s positive energy which is the main focus of this post. I will be explaining how you can attain it in your own life. Also learning about how being surrounded by positive energy is in your control. With some simple strategies, you can be radiating in the right direction in no time.

Understanding The Impact Of Energy On The Mind

Subconsciously it’s easy to get sucked into other peoples worlds. We all have a desire to fit in and sometimes in life. The only thing that seems to be around you is people with bad energy who ultimately bring you down.

Consciously now. I know the importance of the experience of surrounding yourself with the right people. Being conscious of what you read and listen to. Has a major bearing on your mindset.

Without knowing. Slowly the bad energy of your environment will bring you to your knees. This is where the majority of your thoughts are negative based on fear, anger, prejudice amongst many other feelings that harm you. When you realise what the pain is and where it comes from. That’s when you can start taking action to fix it.

How Is Bad Energy So Harmful

Bad energy is prevalent in our society. It becomes so normalised where positive energy is looked at with suspicion. It’s also viewed as something people need to tear down. With things like a news broadcast, whose job is to tell you all the bad news in the world. Then there’s Twitter where people love to hate on each other without consequence. In the UK we have soaps which are some of the most negative shows on TV.

It’s so easy to consume and easy to practice. It’s a habit we are currently stuck in within our society. This energy is not good for you. It’s like eating nothing but ultra-processed food all day or smoking 100 cigarettes a day.

No matter how nice or rush you get at first. It will not last and ultimately bad for you.

Why Good Energy Is Worth It

Having good energy fuels every part of your body and mind. This can lead you to experience some of the most amazing joys of life. But it’s much harder to attain as you have to work at it each day to combat the negative energy in the world. The best thing about it. It’s in your control and finding and keeping it should be on top of your list of things to do every day. This is where you will find your happiness.

How Do You Know If Your Negative

Finding out you’re the negative one in the group can be a hard pill to swallow. Even if no one tells you, it can difficult to realise how negative you’re being. Hopefully, you have good people around you who can honest with you and you can take it on the chin. With this knowledge just adapt to become more mindful of your energy.

If this is not the case. A good exercise is to be conscious of your actions and the words you say throughout the day. Also what you are watching and reading. Seeing whether these sources affect you in any way. By doing this you are taking action on yourself and the negative feelings you have will slowly go away once you address this bad energy in your life.

Strategies To Kill The Negative To Find The Positive

Social media accounts

This platform has been around what feels like forever but in reality a relativity short while. With all its amazing positives there are some major downfalls that need to be addressed going forward. With the freedom of speech being used in its utmost capacity, people feel like they can express any opinion they feel whether it’s about a topic or you as a person.

This, of course, draws criticism and the people being affected can deal with mental trauma consequently. That’s why it’s important to organise your social media account with people who bring you value and generate positive energy within your life. I do this with all my accounts. Instagram is my favourite platform and when I go on it I come out of it much more positive about myself and the world. Just like when you declutter your home, make sure you do the same thing with social media. You are in absolute control of who you follow.

Family

How you get along with your immediate family is personal for you. For some, family interaction can be a torturous one and because they are family you feel obliged to keep in contact. This shouldn’t be the case. You are your own person and if you feel worse around certain family members you should either address the issue or limit your time around that family member.

For me, I can’t spend more than one day with a family member until we clash on her belief system that I don’t agree with whereas another family member I can spend every day with. Again it’s a choice that you have full control of as your mental health comes first.

Friends

With friends, you have to ask yourself the questions. Do their values and mindset still align with mine? Are these people your friends or just leeching off your energy? It’s important to align yourself with people who are on the same path as you. It’s Ok to spend less time with people who don’t align with your values. This is a personal choice only you can make because every person and situation is somewhat different. Deep down you know the answers.

Workplace and colleges

Are you in a workplace that’s toxic and full of politics? Are you surrounded by people who bring you down? If yes. Don’t be scared of leaving, especially because of money. Look at this place as a short term. Then behind the scenes plot your way out whether it is finding a job and a team you’re passionate to work with. You could even create something for yourself to grow into a business. There are too many people in society who hate their jobs and the people they work with. Don’t live in it, change it.

Your environment

My final point is your environment. The area you live in and your home you live in should bring you good energy. This is somewhere you come to recharge, spend with loved ones and feel safe. If this place brings you bad energy everything else in your life can be affected by this. Make sure you plan diligently where you want to live and a home that you can enjoy. If you want your own home or live in an expensive area like London. Set a goal to achieve it and make it happen.

Final Thoughts

We are only human and we can exhibit different energy levels interchangeable throughout our day. The point hopefully you take away from this is that your energy levels are in your control.

If you organise your life the best you can. It helps generate positive energy all around you from the people you hang with to what you consume daily.

Some of my favourite positive souls in the world are The Yes Theory on YouTube and the person who inspired me to write this post is David Goggins who is a no-nonsense man with an incredibly disciplined mindset. You should check them out.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this? I hope today’s article Surrounding Yourself With Good Energy Will Change Your Life has brought you positive vibes and have a great day wherever you are

To create a mindset that benefits our lives having a money mindset is valuable to progress in life. Whether you like it or not money is needed to live the minimum standard of living to an unlimited lifestyle. That’s why getting your money right is an important part of anyone’s journey. My 5 valuable finance books to grow your wealth will help you in my many areas of finance. I hope one of these books can give you as much help as it has me.

I’ve been told to read a finance a book a year as a minimum to progress myself with the understanding of finances. So far I’ve been able to read at least 1 per year. This has helped me greatly to build up my financial IQ.

My favourite 5 Finance Books Beginners

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad

This is a popular book in the financial world. Written by Robert Kiyosaki. Rich Dad Poor Dad helps you to understand the different mindsets from the poor to the rich. It allowed me to see the mindset I would need to transform my wealth to a rich standard.

He states that 95% of the world are either employees or self-employed and 5% are either businessman or investors. With this 95% of the worlds, wealth lies with the businessman and investors and 5% with the rest.

This was a real eye-opener and amongst a lot of his teachings, he helps you to understand that you can form better methods to grow your wealth. Here are just 4 of his wisdom when it comes to money mindset.

Most people work for money —rich people have money work for them.
It’s not how much money you make that matters — it’s how much money you keep.
Rich people acquire assets — not liabilities they think are assets.
Working all your life for someone else can lead to financial struggle

2. I Will Teach You To Be Rich

I read the second edition revised by Ramit Sethi. This book I will teach you to be rich describes itself as a 6-week program to a rich life. After reading this it was great to see a lot of the information I was already applying. If this was the first financial book I read this would have given me a major headstart in life. After learning about a rich mindset with think and grow rich this book will teach you all there is to get your money right in simple steps. He breaks downs everything from setting up your bank account, avoid or get out of debt to building your wealth within the stock market. For any novice to finances from start to finish, this was a clear and enjoyable read.

3.The Intelligent Investor

This book is all about being an intelligent investor where you learn so much about investing and what strategies are right for you. This book is highly recommended by Warren Buffet and when reading I can see why. It’s a hard read at first if you know nothing about this world but after a while, you start understanding it a lot clearer.

A massive bonus is after every chapter Jason Zweig translates Benjamin Graham’s message into a clear understanding for the modern age. Because of this, my wealth transformed tenfold all because he translated it clearly.

4. Think And Grow Rich

Think and grow rich doesn’t teach you about how to beat the market or how to get out of debt. The most important teaching is having the mindset you need to grow rich. This book has changed so many countless lives with its valuable lessons and continues to be relevant today. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to get in the right mindset to grow there life personally and financially.

5. The Richest Man In Babylon

This book compiles many stories from the Babylonian era. The lessons within these stories still stand up today in the 21st century. It a very small book in comparison to others but effective none the less. This book helps with understanding and teaches you 7 valuable lessons.

Pay Yourself First.
Live Within Your Means.
Put Your Money to Work.
Keep Your Money Safe.
Be a Homeowner.
Insure Your Future Income.

Every one of these lessons can help you become wealthy and a quote I loved in this book was “Men of action are favoured by the Goddess of good luck” Which mean that you create your own luck in life and if you want to be wealthy you have to take the right action to get there.
