Energy.

Everything is energy and energy is in everything…

“Emotions are energy. Energy in motion. Feeling like a feather drifting through the oceans…”

- Sevyn B

Life is an ongoing cycle of navigating through different experiences and processing the emotions that come with them. It’s so easy to see things as “good or bad” and “up and down” but sometimes, if not most the time, life just is. I’m learning to not take things so personal and look at shit solely as experiences. Most experiences you have with people (good or bad) has nothing to do with you and everything with them. People’s actions are a reflection of how their internal world is going. And again, it’s so easy to take things personally or perceive them as “good or bad” when we’ve been so conditioned to only think of ourselves. Some of the time, people have shit going on and unintentionally take it out on others. Hold people accountable of course, but also leave room for growth and understanding. We can’t control what people do to us and we can’t control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond and move forward. Instead of reacting negatively to things or people that may not seem to be in your favor, take time to breathe and then think. Would the situation get better if you put out the same energy or redirect and change it? Again, this is easier said than done, but it helps protect your energy in the long run. You learn to not react to every little thing that people say or do. Some things deserve a response and some things don’t even deserve your time. So to sum it all up, protect your energy and protect your peace.
