How to avoid energy depletion

Serious question, didn't know where to post, but I'm guessing it's something metaphysical.

I feel like my energy gets vet affected by the people around me. More in a negative way, and I'm wondering if anyone has ways of helping this affect decrease

Right now I feel this at work and obviously I cannot avoid these people.
I took a week off and was on vacation. Felt energized and refreshed. I've been back to work for 3 days and already feel drained from the energy around me and having to be here. I really wish I could just quit lol.

Any tips?

Thanks!

I did search online and saw meditation being mentioned. I do love yoga and try to do that often, and after work to help me.

I think there is something about my energy as well. I feel that it brings a lot of hate and jealously toward me. I am very to myself, basically private and quiet and I feel people make take that the wrong way so feel their negativity quite easily.

I do try to stay away, but it's mostly from my own team who I sit directly next to. I literally tune out every day(music helps) but it's come to a point where I feel I should be living like this and really want to rid myself of the situation.

I am going to try the mediation in the morning and night. Funny enough I do yoga but have never really tried mediation itself. Hope his helps 🙂

Oh and yea, I definitely try to say positive and smile most of the day! It's not easy lol

Should not be living like this **

There are ways to protect yourself. Meditation certainly is one way. Visualization is one that I find to be very useful. An instructor of mine suggests opening an invisible bag, stepping into it, pulling it up over your head and closing it, thus creating a sort of energy shield where yours is contained within and everyone else's is defected off.

Some people are Energy Vampires (usually unknowingly) and some people are very susceptible to this (like you). Look it up online. There are ways through meditation to protect yourself from this.

A meditation where you imagine yourself enveloped in white light for protection.

the sensitive ones who quickly get their energy depleted are known as empaths, creating the duality with energy vampires. I think empath is a misnomer, becauseI don't tthink it's related to empathy in terms of the opposite of a sociopath

Thanks. Yea I haven't read much on it, but from what I know I am definitely an empath. Too much so. And sadly I work around people who are the opposite so 1) I absorb a lot of energy, a lot of negative energy 2)I feel like an outcast at work 3) my way of trying to block negative energy causes more energy depletion

I am thankful to be this way. I pick up on things quickly. But hoestly I hate it at the same time

Thank you! I like that idea 🙂

Say no.

I had this a few years ago. After trying different approaches, at the end I kept it simple. I did not go to lunch with them.

Also I wrote a journal about good and bad at work. That took my focus. So there was less time to get involved in their drama.

Do so as if you were as BAD (gruesam) as they are. They see your power and have to live with it.

Be simply bad. This will half your too-good attitude.

Omg I say no to lunch all the time. So I've become "that girl" who is just outcasted and I look like I'm antisocial. Truthfully I am social, but I'm picky with who I am around due to what has already been explained.

Obviously people don't get it. They probably look at me crazy. And I don't get invited a lot anymore lol. I get a lot of stares at work (esp from women) and there goes bag attitude of them thinking I'm too good

I am a tough girl though. I am sweet and shy, but I'm also self assured and I wonder if that where people think I'm too good. Anyway it's a mix of everything and then I have to deal with it. My strength is only so much and I constantly feel like I'm fighting an invisible battle lol.

I'm going to start doing more productive things (non work related) on my time off (lunch and such) to keep me focused. I have enough going on in my personal life that should be my focus anyway

Thank you for your input, glad I'm not the only one 🙂 I seear I'm meant to work alone lol

"Also I wrote a journal about good and bad at work."


sorry, this is not clear. I wrote about my own good and bad. I just wanted to be sure that the source was not my own discontent with myself. You know? because of the projection thing.

so I had this + and - list and the number increased daily and I found that I was slightly better than average. according to my own observation and evaluation.

I mean of course people are too demanding and gossipping. yet maybe there comes a day we are of thin skin. maybe because of some loss or hurt in the private life. (can be seen in transit-to-natal aspects too).

people have their good side too. they bring diversity and opportunity. we need good regeneration so that we are either neutral or thankful for their good sides.


BTW: thank you for considering my comment.
