This Is How You Allow Other People to Drain Your Energy Without Realizing It

You jealously guard some things. If someone tries to take over your property, you will immediately run to the police and write a statement, because the thief must be in prison. And at the same time, you often allow other people to rob you of the only resource you simply can't rebuild. Your time.

You are extremely indifferent to the protection of the spiritual space, your energy, and your free time - but all this is your life.

When you force yourself to communicate with someone you can't stand, just to "save your face", you allow that person to steal from you in time. When you could do something useful and constructive, you spend all day on social media, and that's exactly what you do.

And you spend time aimlessly listening to the same complaints from acquaintances for the thousandth time, thinking for hours about how to improve your Instagram account, when instead of falling asleep, you relive the conflict in your head that happened about 5 years ago, when the next day at work, like a rope around your neck, when you spend your salary on "fashionable" things so that the people you can't stand in the depths of your soul can't find you unattractive when you put on the mask of a "good person".

You are afraid, to tell the truth when your mind is full of tiny voices of someone else's opinion that draw you in different directions and prevent you from moving forward…

You let other people steal your life piece by piece, you let them slowly, drop by drop, drain your energy - the energy that underlies your life.

And the most interesting thing about this is that in most cases, you don't even understand what's going on. Besides, you seem to want to keep him busy, and you know why? Because you don't fully understand what can lead to all this…

"No one in his mind will voluntarily give up an inch of his possessions, but at the same time, we can easily allow others to take our lives from us. No one will give their hard-earned money to people they have accidentally lost, but how easily we give our lives to those who get in our way! We zealously protect our money and property, but we consider it normal to waste our time "- Seneca.

It is worth clarifying a simple fact - in fact, not even the time is limited, but the energy, which is offered to you with a certain norm per day. This energy, with all desire, is not enough for all and for all and that is why you must choose wisely.

Remember the famous experiment with stones and sand: when you first place the large stones in a jar, then the small ones and pour sand on top, everything is placed there without a trace. But if you try to put sand in there first, then small stones and big ones on top, then you will be surprised to understand that it just doesn't fit in a jar.

If you allow small and unimportant things to take control of your life, you will not have enough energy for big things - those things that are important to you.

Think about it: if your bank account had $ 86,400 and someone stole $ 10 from you, would you be so offended to spend the remaining $ 86,390 trying to get revenge? Unlikely. So… each day consists of 86400 seconds. Don't allow negative people to poison the rest of your 86390 for 10 seconds - an unknown author.

When you are worried and reliving what others say and write when you allow someone else to influence your words and actions when you devote yourself entirely to work receiving nothing in return when you desperately try to "deserve" someone's love… Yourself, and with your own hands, you ruin your life. And not with the help of grandiose tragic deeds, but with the help of tiny moments, each of which squeezes your power over your own life and squeezes your energy.

If you want to know where you will be in 5 years, take a look at the things you do every day. If you want to know how you will feel in 5 years, take a closer look at what you are thinking here and now.

Your time and energy are the most valuable currency. Well-invested time gives a much higher income than the best deposit. The more time and energy you spend wisely, the more you will receive in return.
