How strong is your energy cord?

 my computer was having issues this past month and it was awful! it wouldn't charge. It got me to thinking about our energy cords we have that give us energy as well as deplete us. What do you do to fill your energy?

This computer thing was interesting. I found out that the cord was only allowing a trickle of electricity and sometimes it was intermittent. It could have been because the cord was older, it could have been because of a power surge that disrupted the flow of energy through the cord to the computer. The fascinating part was that running on this low energy flow of electricity or intermittent actually caused damage to the computer.

When I took the computer in to have it looked at, I was told I needed a stronger cord, so the salesman set me up with a stronger cord as well as a new and stronger box to plug the cord into so it had a strong connection when it was plugged into an outlet. I was amazed at the difference it made to my computer just to have this upgrade in performance. my computer went from not charging at all to charging and quickly as well as running faster. The only issue was that the damage had already been done and to get my computer back to running properly I now have to take it back and have the experts work their magic.

How does this all apply to your life? We all hear about fight or flight and the toll it takes on our adrenals. We could say that this is similar to running our biocomputer on a lagging electrical current for too long. Disrupting the flow of energy can cause static in our body systems reducing the effective flow from one system to another or even through the same system. 

I know personally I ran on this lagging electricity for too long and now I am doing a lot of repair work on my energy systems so that my other systems can function on a higher vibration level. 

A few things I learned:

1. I have to manage my inner circle. This does not mean I cut people out of my life, it means that I have a small inner circle that is filled with only those who are similar with my vibration and share my same values. Everyone else, I can be a blessing to, but I have to have that inner circle kept tight.

2. I have had to learn how to say no and yes. Yes to what I know I can do and no to the things that will overload me. I also learned that even if I do say yes, if it gets to be too much, I can put it on a shelf, and or ask for help. I don't need to do everything on my own.

3. I have learned to pace myself. I don't have to be everywhere and everything all the time. It's ok to utilize this thing called self-care, because when I take care of myself I can better take care of others.

4. I have learned how to reduce the in head noise, I have learned how to talk to and listen to what my body is trying to say. I have learned how to restore communication in my body systems for better performance in terms of happiness and restoring the flow of life in my journey here.

5. I have learned to be more grateful and build my gratitude list everyday

To keep my biocomputer running smoothly I love that there are so many ways to release tension, pain, trapped emotions and restore the natural flow of energy and communication within the body systems.

The green eyed monster!

When I was young, I remember always being picked apart. My style was too flashy, my weight was too skinny, women who were older than me felt it necessary to exercise control over me or intimidation, they hated my youth.

Being raised a co-dependent people pleaser, I was always in a state of flight or freeze, worried I would offend someone or more than that, be in trouble. I would be in trouble for how other women felt. At one time, my own mother told me that if I didn't do what she wanted it would ruin our relationship and it would be my fault. 

I remember I had been given a blessing from a trusted elderly man and it was written out and very special to me. I remember allowing a couple of different women, at different times, to read it and was in absolute shock at their response. Pure hatred towards me because of the contents of the blessing. Somehow I was supposed to now apologize for what was given to me. It was interesting especially as they both had their own written blessing. There shouldn't have been a comparison in my opinion.

There were times when my worry over making people, mostly women caused me to allow abuse to happen to me. There was a point in my life that I realized I was putting on weight to fit in, to be accepted by the women in my life who were overweight. It took a lot of learning and self-awareness training to step into my power and become successful in life.

Recently I had to step back into a world where I was in contact with one of these abusive women, and it was so interesting and actually liberating! I came to realize that she was still, after 35 years, super jealous of me. As I pondered my own response, I felt so empowered instead of small I felt big, instead of abused, I felt liberated. Instead of shrinking and people pleasing, I found myself standing tall and embracing in a new light the excitement of having someone jealous! 

As soon as I decided to embrace this power I realized that when people have this jealousy, it means that I am doing something spectacular that they only wish they could do. So many days I feel inadequate, maybe not successful enough, I'm aging so maybe not pretty enough, thin enough. This opportunity was incredible because it reminded me in so many ways how hard these women have to try to step up to do even a little of what I am able to accomplish. 

Realizing that other's insecurities about themselves is just that. It can be empowering that you are on the right track and these types of people may show up to challenge your feelings of self-worth, but I encourage you to embrace the jealousy that is thrown at you and surround yourself with those who lift you up, support, and encourage you; because it means you are doing something amazing!

To the women I have in my life now, I say thank you! It is a completely different universe when as a woman you are surrounded by the right women. It increases your abilities as well as theirs when the competition goes away and you are each free to be the best you! Women are more powerful when they support each other.

And men! Same for you! When you are surrounded by men who believe in you!

For those who need to find your tribe, make sure that you are among the types of people who match and are higher above your vibration, make sure they lift you up, and although I'm not a proponent of cutting people out of your life, it's ok to take people in small doses, and allow them to choose whether or not they want to come up to your vibration. Not everyone needs to be in your inner circle.
