The Focus Bee Show (76) Energy: How to Get Rid of Vampires and Find Fairies?
Our energy can be fuelled or drained by internal/external factors. Once we pause to analyse these factors, we can better replenish our energy! This impacts our focus, productivity, well-being, performance, etc.
- Vampires are the energy drainers. For example people, place, tasks that drain you. It can also be internal drainers, such as worries, anxiety and brooding.
- Fairies are energy boosters! They fuel you with life and energise you! Fairies can be external (also people, places etc.) and internal (emotions of excitement and joy, gratitude…)
- Raising your awareness to better understand what drains you and what fuels you is a fundamental pillar to improving your well-being. Through journaling, reflection, meditation, working with a coach, you will start to be more aware of your own vampires and fairies!
- As much as possible, attempt to fill your days with fairies and reduce vampires.
- The vampires that you can’t eliminate from your life, accept them and do let them take up all your mental space! The internal vampires are fully within your control!
- Find fairies through getting inspiration in podcasts, books, youtube, conversations… Start to pick up new ideas and inspiration as to what could fuel you!
It all begins by having a clear awareness of your own vampires and fairies. Once you start to be more systematic and looking for fairies – they will show up everywhere! This takes practice but it is well worth it!
