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

The Power Of Routine

7 guaranteed ways to improve your routines with an alarm clock — Photo by Laura Chouette on Unsplash

Routine is what makes all of us do the things we do, that”s why i have created 7 guaranteed ways to improve your routines. As humans we are creatures of habit. This can be good but also be bad too. In life there have been many people with more natural talent than I have. For example – they was better communicators in business or in sport faster sprinters.

Through experience I have learned, bad routines and talent combined. Success is really hard to come by but with routines and talent, success is easily achieved. To make sure I can be the best that i can be, I decided to look at my routines. My sleep patterns, eating habits and general thoughts I had.

What I found was. Successful people like Conor Mcgregor a two time UFC champion, Alex Fegurson Manchester United all time best manager. In business, entrepreneur Richard Branson to motivation speaker Tony Robbins. They all had one thing in common, ROUTINES.

As I am keen sportsman, when I was younger routines helped with my mindset. Simple things like when I’m playing football. I have the same shirt number (14) and having the same morning preparation each time.

So, I took this same mindset into business. My sport routines gave me so much confidence to achieve success. Applying this into a business environment had the very same outcome as well.

Below are some of my 7 guaranteed ways to improve your routines.

Consistent Wake Up Time

I wake up 6 am everyday. At first it was a struggle. After 1 week my brain adapted and I didn’t need an alarm because my brain woke me up naturally. I was fresh every morning ready to attack the day! This also gave me confidence to start the day with the first win.

Consistent Morning Preparation

Being consistent in the morning was about doing everything in the same order everyday. Just like preparing for a football match with the packing of my bag to putting on my kit in the same order. Having the same routine allowed me to free up brain power of what to do. Keeping your brain energised so it last longer throughout the day is important This allows you to not worry about what your doing in the morning. An example of this is Mark Zuckerberg who wears the same style clothes everyday to save brain power.

Planning Your Life

Planning your life allows you prepare your days in advance. This routine points you in the right direction of your goals. Whenever i create a plan it allows my brain to understand whats coming next and helps me complete the task. Whereas with no plan i am aimless going nowhere in life. This mindset makes you maximise everyday to the fullest, making you look back and go, that was great day!

A Just Win Attitude

Everyday we come up against problems big and small but it’s how we deal with them that defines our success. So to every problem you face. Just ask yourself how can I win at this? Who can help me win? What do I need to win? Doing so will make you achieve more and make you far more happier with you accomplishing more in your day.

Tell Everyone About What You’re Doing And Where You’re Headed

Be consistent with your message and back it up with action. By telling your family, friends, coaches and colleagues what goals and agenda you want to achieve. It’s a sure fire way to hold you accountable every day of your life.

This is important because it’s easy for us to have goals with ourselves and if we don’t meet those goals we can easily forgive ourselves and say it’s OK. When other people are involved and we don’t achieve our goals that we said we would. There’s feelings of I’ve let you down, regret and not being honourable to my word. So this always drives you on to achieve those goals.

For short term goals, always make sure you set realistic achievable goals. And for long term goals you need to think of the bigger picture.

Read Read Read

Every successful person has a library in their home. Why? Because every book has knowledge, and every book has a million pound idea that could change your whole life.

The best thing about books like Think and Grow Rich or Leadership Revolution. Is that they help us grow as people and help us understand the skills we are trying to develop. Reading can help us come up with new ideas and help pass on the message to everyone we come in contact with. But most importantly it helps our brain be alive. As our brain is a muscle and the more we train it, the more it develops.

Healthy Lifestyle

Eating, drinking and working out are essential for keeping your mind and body in top condition. It’s important that you find a meal plan and a workout routine that’s good for your schedule and stick to it, you will see results within weeks.

Final Thoughts

These are the 7 guaranteed ways to improve your routines that have got me good to this point of my life where I run my own company. I still want to better my routines and habits as i look for bigger goals in my life.

So, if you’re looking to improve your life with family, finances or just enjoying life more. Start doing everything above now and you will succeed and be the winner you know you are!
