A Small but Meaningful Change

Something about summer makes me take stock of my life.  Where things are, how they are going, what could be better, easier, simpler.  I think it is all the fresh air, it is rejuvinating and makes all things seem possible.

One thing I have been working on is to limit the Energy Vampires in my life.  You know, the ones that suck the spark out of you?  Who can put a negative spin on everything?  Who NEVER want to see the bright side?  I get it, everyone has those days where they just want to complain and mope.  I have those days too.  It is not easy to be a perpetually positive person.

But it is not easy being around Energy Vampires either.  I seem very susceptible to this phenomenon and it really drags my energy down, making me not want to do things and just generally feeling really negative.

So.  My solution?

• Limit the time spent with Energy Vampires.  
• Don't let other peoples energy take over or overly influence my own.
• Drink more water (ok, and gin)
• Try to get some more steps in.  I have been feeling so good since I started my Fitbit routine!
• Laugh, and find people who laugh at the same things. 
• Set boundaries.  

Easier said than done.  But today is as good a day as any.
