Watch out for energy vampires

Energy Vampires 'suck' away your energy
Energy vampires literally suck away your energy, you want to sink further into the couch just thinking about them. If you can identify those energy vampires in your life you are half way to eradicating them forever. 

Energy vampires can include:
  •  things that we feel we 'should' do, which we actually don't want to do, those things on the to do list that have been sat there for months, years even, never getting started. 
  • People who we see but who we would rather not see.
  •  Boring meetings which ramble on for hours without actually achieving anything.
  •  Looking for items that have no proper home. 
  • Worrying about health/weight/money/future. 
  • Clutter that no longer reflects who you are or what you want.
  • Gifts that you don't find particularly attractive but which you feel you should keep because it was a gift.
  • Boredom. 
  • Fear. 
  • Feeling guilty.
  • Worrying about the small stuff.
  • Doing what other people think we should do. 
  • Trying to be perfect. 
  • Trying to be someone you're not. 
 Sometimes we simply have to cross things off the to do list. We have to say no to boring meetings. Be suddenly busy if an energy vampire friend suggests lunch. Give away the clutter, do only what makes us feel good. Start being true to yourself, filling your days doing things you love doing. Spend time with those who inspire you, who uplift you or who you admire. Surround yourself with items that make your heart sing.  Life is what you make it, so make it good!
