It is a well-known fact that we are heavily influenced by the energies that surround us in our daily lives, impacting our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. While we can do our best to surround ourselves with positive influences, there are many people that we will come into contact with that we have no control over such as classmates and co-workers.
As we attract and absorb these energies from the environment around us, it is our responsibility to identify and manage them. Creating a low point in our moods, it can drain us of energy and leave us feeling exhausted and depressed. For this reason, it is important that we learn how to identify these energies before they take hold.
