There might be times when you feel drained, exhausted, bored, anxious, threatened, over-whelmed or depressed after spending some time with a particular person, i.e. the very company of the person makes you feel sick inside out.

Also, you might feel guilty of thinking negatively about that person, however, if you encounter one around you then make yourself strong enough to spot him or her as an energy vampire.

Energy vampires are people who drain your energy. They can be anyone around you- your colleagues, family members, friends, classmates or even someone you have encounter with chance.

This term has been mooted by a Hindu priest who is also an entrepreneur, former monk and an international speaker- Dandapani. He categorizes the energy vampires into two types.

First, who are temporary, i.e. those people who suck out the energy within you for a short period of time as they might have been facing hard times themselves presently. They might have been going through divorce or some family spats, loss of loved ones or jobs, etc.

Second, those who are inherent energy vampires. They are the ones who are always like this. They do not look for any changes in their attitude or personality. It is very easy to spot this kind as the moment you walk away from them you start to feel negative.

Some common features of energy vampires are as follow:

1. They either victimize themselves or blame external factors for shortcomings of their lives. They try to make others feel guilty for the troubles they face rather than taking responsibilities themselves.

2. They always try to acquire the position of attention in a meeting. Being the centre of attention is their ultimate goal in any gathering they attend.

3. This brings their narcissist attitude. Everything in the world is about them. For them others are just the insignificant ones.

4. They are inherently either drama queens or kings. They love to indulge into drama every now and then.

Thus, now you know how to spot one and deal with them. The best way is to avoid them as much as you can. However, it is very challenging as they can be your friends, family members or your colleagues whom you have to face every day right from the morning.

If you want to save your limited energy for a prolific day, start ignoring them nonetheless.

How to Get Rid of Your Energy Vampires?

With 2018 already taking over with its uniquely powerful energy, there has never been a better moment to finally let go of the toxic people and the energy vampires that have been feeding off your energy these past years.

We all have at least one such ‘friend’ in our lives that seems to be doing everything they can to drain us dry from the energy we’re so willing to share without giving anything in return. It’s not that you should be expecting anything, but you know that feeling when you just can’t take it anymore?

Well, if it has been awkward for you to break that relationship and go on with the life you deserve so far, now is the time where the energy of this year will help you loosen up and break those toxic bonds.

However, it won’t happen magically. You have a job in it too, and everything says that you’re ready to get on with it. So here are 3 powerful but simple ways to finally get rid of the energy vampires in your life.

1. Say NO

It doesn’t hurt as much when you say NO as you may think. It actually hurts more when you do the things you didn’t want to do. It depletes your energy, it eats away your precious time, and it throws you down into the low energy vibes, all because you didn’t protect yourself.

No is as valid as Yes, and it should be practiced accordingly. That is if you want to live a happy life. If someone decides to cut ties with you because of a reasonable NO, then you are better off without that person, as it shows how willing they are to usurp your personal choices and space.

So, say NO to people pleasing and say YES to being true to yourself a bit more accurately.

2. It’s always good to find some Alone time

Alone doesn’t mean lonely, and understanding this crucial difference is something that will liberate you from compulsive socializing which leads to no personal pleasure. That’s why it’s important to find some alone time and dedicate your energy to yourself.

This alone time will help you gain more insight about the things you’ve been through and you will regain greater control over who and what influences you – that is – you will become your own influencer the most.

This way, you will be more capable of breaking free from the toxic influence of energy vampires and similar unwanted psychopaths.

3. Look to the past for lessons, not bitterness

People usually look into the past for all the wrong reasons, and they usually come up with all the wrong ‘lessons.’ You don’t want to become bitter and hateful because of select experiences with negative people.

Everybody is here to teach us an important lesson, and energy vampires serve to teach us how to be ourselves more and how to resist external influence when we are supposed to be ourselves.

And finally, stick to the present and accept whatever may come in the future.

2018 is a year of action and taking control over your life, and, as such, it offers an energy which you should not shy away from. Your life is your own to live and your choices are your own to make, but make sure they are not negatively influenced by someone else’s choices and that you have no reason to regret even when things go bad.

Stay true to yourself and love yourself!

15 Ways to Stop Energy Vampires Draining Your Life Source

It is of crucial importance to protect yourself from energy draining people who are better known as Energy vampires.

When you were young, your parents must have taught you to stay away from strangers- “Stranger Danger”, but while growing up, we forget this and then we become an easy target for energy vampires.

If you want to achieve your goal and work with your maximum potential then you need to learn to preserve your energy. You have to stay away from the energy sucking people who are always on the lookout for unaware people.

Here are some tips for you to protect your energy:

1. Check Who Is Calling

People who drain your energy will call you at odd hours, this puts your attention towards them and this drains your energy. It is best to keep your phone on silent during your productive hours.

2. Value Your Time

Energy suckers value only their own time, they will always come late and will put the blame on you for the delay which is caused by them. Some people may have the tendency to get late without any reason, but if you are one of those people then always remember to make up your delay with a warm hug and a coffee.

3. Always In Trouble And You Are The Only One Who Can Help

When you lack energy, you always find yourself in trouble. It’s good to help people out from their troubles, but it is a bad idea to do that every single time. Some lessons are learned in life only after dealing with the difficult situations all by yourself .

4. Asking For Help

Energy suckers are always reluctant to help others, and even if they do, they will always ask for an even bigger favor.

5. Boring people

You’ll find that people who are low on their energy level are boring and unsocial. These people just drag their lives. Stay away from them.

5 Signs Of An Energy Vampire Who Kills Your Time And Sucks Your Energy Dry

They leave you feeling drained after every conversation. They want your nonstop attention and the conversation is always about them. They may be charming, charismatic and the life-of-the-party personality. They also may cheat. They may lie. And it’s probably someone else’s fault when something goes wrong.

These are some (but certainly not all) of the traits you might run across in someone who is an “energy vampire.”

“An energy vampire is somebody who literally zaps your energy dry,” Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist on the University of California-Los Angeles Psychiatric Clinical Faculty, tells NBC News BETTER.

There are different types and they fall on a spectrum, she adds. There’s the narcissistic drama queen friend who’s always dealing with one crisis or another. There’s the manipulative coworker who doesn’t care who she steps on to get ahead. And there’s the downright psychopathic criminal.

What energy vampires all have in common is they “feed on” (or manipulate) people who will give them air space and open ears.

Unsurprisingly those most often targeted are the sensitive, compassionate, always-see-the-good-in-people types of people, Orloff says. (She’s also author of a book on the topic, “The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People”.)

Energy vampire isn’t a clinical term or diagnosis currently. But Christiane Northrup, MD, author of the recent book “Dodging Energy Vampires”, explains that energy vampire characteristics do tend to map to “cluster B” personality disorders — the ones where people tend to have dramatic, overly emotional or erratic thinking or behavior — which are fairly common, she says. (Northrup spent 25 years practicing obstetrics and gynecology and now focuses on being an advocate for women’s health and wellness.)

Cluster B includes people with antisocial, borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, and each of those is a clinical diagnosis with measurable specific traits spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), the diagnostic playbook psychologists use to identify mental health disorders.

“There’s no chemical imbalance in the brain or anything like that,” she adds. But individuals either lack or have a somewhat misguided conscience or moral compass, she says.

According to Northrup, energy vampires also include the extreme end of the spectrum of these personality disorders, namely psychopaths and sociopaths. They are often talented, but manipulative, too. They feed on your good, loving and compassionate energy, and they have no qualms about doing so, she says. They make you feel guilty, as if you’re never giving enough.

Who is and who’s not an energy vampire?

While psychopaths, according to Northrup’s definition, are one type of energy vampire, they’re certainly not the most common ones you might come across. Think of any names that came to mind while as you read the first part of this article. That’s a good way to start identifying the energy vampires in your life, Northrup says.

Not everyone with narcissistic traits or who enjoys being the life of the party is necessarily an energy vampire, she adds. There are some who recognize what they’re doing if you call them out on it and stop. Energy vampires (those who could be diagnosed with a character disorder), however, are addicted to that kind of behavior and the attention they get from it.

Generally they’re self-centered people and they’re somewhat manipulative, Northrup says. “On some level they all know what they’re doing and they do it because it works.”

The non-energy vampires of the world give them the benefit of the doubt that they really do need your love, compassion and good chi, Northrup adds, “because we think they think like we do.” And that’s why energy vampires are so dangerous, she says.

Social media is a wonderful thing when used in the right ways. It can help us connect to others across the globe, join in groups or clubs that encourage our goals, and be a force we use to bring about change. Unfortunately, there’s always a yin to the yang in life. Knowing how to deal with the bad stuff is key to keeping your mental health in check while using social media.

Social Media Triggers

I often complain about social media, especially Facebook. Most people find it humorous that my paying job is that of a Social Media Admin. I literally read articles, comment back to people, and schedule posts to attract customers to the business I work for. While most things I do for work remain pretty low-key, I’ve seen other companies struggle with bad reviews, trolling in the comments section, and outright rudeness. Some people just like to criticize and be rude and give off negative energy. They probably need a hug, but instead of getting help, they turn to the online world to push forward their own message: one of negativity and anger at whatever is bugging them in the universe.

I’ll be honest. I’ve probably done things in the past that would define me as a “troll”. Sometimes it’s easy to latch on to an idea and when others don’t agree, to angrily make my point. It’s not that it’s bad to be passionate about something, but isn’t healthy to go looking for a fight. This is who I’m referring to in my writing today. Those people who just hate everything and want other people to get sucked in to their anger and vitriol. 

Before I move ahead on this, I want to remind you that if you are feeling sad, upset, crabby, or otherwise, seeking out attention on social media is probably not your best solution. Instead, find a friend to talk to, journal your feelings, or go for a walk. We can all be guilty of saying too much and giving off negativity to others which in turn causes them to feel bad too. (I’m not saying you should never talk about negative stuff. I’m just saying putting up constant posts and negative feedback will probably effect others. Just be careful and mindful of how you are communicating. Asking for help is fine. Looking for a fight isn’t.)

Ok, let’s move ahead.

Permission to Walk Away

It’s hard for me to say if these people are outright nasty and trying to deplete me of energy, but it sure feels that way. Any act of trying to explain yourself turns into more fuel for the fight. This is a red flag to walk away.

Do you ever get sucked into conversations and then find yourself upset, down, or sad for hours afterwards? You’ve probably been sucked into some unnecessary online drama which can destroy your sense of well-being. If you found yourself getting angry and being defensive, this is another sign that it wasn’t a healthy conversation. Here is something I want you to repeat to yourself often:

I DON’T OWE ANYONE MY SERENITY

I actually stole that from Shavon Evelyn who wrote this article–but I repeat it to myself so often, it’s become a mantra for me.  You don’t owe anyone anything. Ever. And you especially don’t owe them your sense of peace. So give yourself permission to walk away from anyone that makes you feel unhappy, sad, or just plain yucky. Feel free to delete, block, hide, and purge those people who attack you or just generally make your mood go from positive to negative in a short amount of time. 

I believe Facebook makes people more unlikable. Not only do you end up seeing posts about everything they do, but then there’s bragging and posting of opinions. It is too much for me. Because I know almost everyone annoys me on Facebook, I will hide people who constantly brag or post too many political posts. More recently, I deleted the app entirely from my phone. I don’t even visit it unless I’m on my laptop which makes my visits a lot less. Many times I don’t even look at my feed at all. I go to the group pages that I like and then leave. This has been extremely helpful to my sense of self.

Why is this important?

Getting sucked into someone’s negativity once or twice is enough to leave us introverts feeling crabby. If it happens over and over again, as it does on social media, we can become negative ourselves. This pattern of being sucked in to someone else’s bad day is extremely toxic. Sometimes we don’t even know why we are cranky and impatient. If you find this is true of yourself, try unplugging your phone for the day and staying off social media. If you felt less moody, then maybe you need to focus on how you’re engaging on social media, your blog, or through email. What are these “emotional vampires” that are stealing your energy and joy?

Other Things to Watch Out For

• TV Shows or Movies that upset you
• Text Messaging friends or loved ones with constant drama or bragging
• Negative email exchanges
• Mindlessly reading what everyone is posting & their comments 
• Extremely negative blog posts and comments
• Your own off-the-wall reactions to posts that trigger you

The key to all these things is to ask yourself, how do I feel after being exposed to this stimuli? Am I drained and burned out or do I feel uplifted? You know what to do if the answer is that you are drained. The best thing you can do is to withdraw, rest, and find something to reset your mood. Awareness of how you feel is extremely important. Once you recognize this, you’ll be able to walk away, set boundaries for the future, and move forward with .

Energy Vampires: How to Take Back Your Social Media Life

As our culture has become more and more distracted by the overstimulation of our senses, many of us have had to develop a layer of thicker skin.

Scenes too risqué for the screen 30 years ago are now the norm. While seemingly accepted by the masses, many still cringe as they watch where the culture is headed.

From the overt 24-hour newscasts telling us repetitively about the latest tragedy, drama, and trauma, to the sly marketing ploys to get us to buy, drink, eat, or consume the latest and greatest product, we insidiously grow more immune and less sensitive every day.

One of the greatest strengths a person can have is to be a sensitive person in today’s insensitive world—and this is becoming more and more of a challenge.

Sensitive people, also known as empaths, are highly aware. They feel everything. They have a powerful radar system and can feel what people around them feel. By nature, they are more delicate, vulnerable, yet potentially more powerful than those who more easily grow thicker skin.

An empath’s power is easily suppressed by an overstimulated world, making them easy targets for less sensitive, more manipulative energy vampires who take advantage of the more sensitive ones. Because they are more delicate, sensitive and vulnerable, they are easy prey for those whose thicker skin has grown them more insensitive, manipulative and controlling.

While growing thicker skin may seem like the best strategy to endure an insensitive world, the empaths and the sensitive ones may be better served by becoming even more aware—a road less traveled by many.

Sensitive people are never-the-less more powerful, but only once they feel safe enough to re-connect with their inner silence, power, and heightened awareness.

In Dr. Christiane Northrup’s new book, Dodging Energy Vampires, she devotes an entire book to helping the very sensitive find their true power and potential, while protecting themselves from those set out to abuse, use, and control the feelers of the world.

Know Your Emotional Body Type

In addition to the more well-known body type evaluation of vata, pitta, and kapha, Ayurveda describes that there are emotional body types. Knowing your emotional body type can help determine your sensitivity, and lead you on the path back from insensitive to sensitive, where one’s power and happiness truly lie.

The three Ayurvedic emotional body types are:

1. Sattvic – loving, kind, sensitive, and at peace from within.
2. Rajasic – satisfied when stimulated by the senses.
3. Tamasic – withdrawn and depleted from overstimulation.

The goal of Ayurveda is to aspire to become more sattvic, and less tamasic and rajasic.

Our Emotional Body Type Quiz determines how much of these three mental and emotional traits you have, and where they are manifesting in your life.

For example, if you are rajasic around money, all of your satisfaction only comes when you know you are to receive more money.

The sattvic person would find their joy in giving and caring for others, through the window of compassion and understanding.

The tamasic person may find themselves hoarding money and possessions, for fear of losing them.

Understanding your emotional type allows you to see where in your life you lack sattva. Being aware of this will help you find your way back to mental health and happiness, and stop unconsciously being the vampire that Dr. Northrup describes in her book and in our podcast.

Take the Emotional Body Type Quiz now

Finding Your Power—the Eye of the Hurricane

The goal of Ayurveda is to first find your inner peace and calm, and learn how to access that state on demand. Let’s call that the “eye of the storm.”

Once you have found your silence and are open to becoming more aware, then we can take action from that place of peace, calm and sensitivity. Actions from this place are the “winds of the storm.” The bigger the eye, the more powerful the winds.

The concept of “burning your karma” comes from the idea that when you begin to function from a calm, delicate, sensitive, sattvic place, you can finally change—this is the karmic action required to change old, unhealthy emotional patterns.

While our podcast is primarily geared to helping the sensitive ones ward off and protect themselves from the energy vampires of the world, there is also hope for the abusers—but only if they are willing to look within!

Dodging Energy Vampires with Christiane Northrup

“I want to suck your blood!” said an Energy Vampire.

Jon Gordon’s book, The Energy Bus, is absolutely fantastic…in fact, I have wanted to read it for years, but hadn’t hit the shopping cart button on Amazon until this summer. He defines 10 rules to fuel your life, work, and team with positive energy. One rule stuck out that I think is even more prevalent now than when Gordon wrote the book originally, Rule #6: Post a Sign That Says NO ENERGY VAMPIRES ALLOWED on Your Bus.

Simply put, Gordon defines an energy vampire as a person who drains your energy. These people will “suck the life out of you and your goals and vision if you let them,” he states.

I am going to reframe this for educators and give you three strategies and ideas to ward off “Energy Vampires.”

1 – Don’t Hire Energy Vampires

The number one strategy is to steer clear of Energy Vampires. If you have the opportunity to be part of the hiring process in your school, be cognizant of these type of people. This means during the hiring process you must do your homework. Checking on references, using scenario-based questions, asking questions about teaming and collaboration are musts.

When you check references there are probably set questions your school district requires you to utilize. Follow those questions, but make sure to listen for red flags. When checking a reference, red flags such as the following can be good warning signs to not hire:

• Difficulty teaming or collaborating
• Few examples of the candidate working successfully in the school environment
• Little to no detail in examples of a successful work experience
• Works well by themselves without support (independent work is fabulous, but are you trying to create an environment where everyone is on their own island, or the same island working for the same goals; be cautious with this positive statement from a reference giver)
• Long list of job changes (the more someone moves around, the more questions we may have about sustainability and teaming; if this candidate moves from job to job, there must be a reason; even if the candidate is positive in the interview, they may have a dark side…this could be sufficient evidence to determine an Energy Vampire)

During the interview, make sure your questions contain some scenario-based formats. This automatically puts the candidate into the role of a teacher. They must answer from past experience or project what they might do based on their background knowledge. A great question could be the following:

INTERVIEW QUESTION: When you have teamed with colleagues in the past, describe a time when everyone didn’t agree and how your team successfully went to solution.

This question assumes quite a few premises your school may be looking for in their next fabulous teacher: 1) have they have been part of a team before, 2) have they been part of a successful team at some point in their working career, 3) do they have procedures on how to solve problems, 4) how has the team successfully solved a disagreement, and 5) has the candidate been part of the problem solving process and learned something. This question is loaded and you can learn a lot from how the candidate answers or does not answer the question.

Teaming and collaboration can take a team from being lukewarm to boiling when they have respect, compassion, and a set of procedures to solve problems. During an interview, listen through all of the questions to hear if the candidate talks about getting support from others in the education environment. A successful candidate should, without knowing, discuss how the power of “we” solves more problems than “I.”

After you have hired a positive energy person, use a rubric to determine the effectiveness of the team. Here is one I built that will support your team in setting goals in order to “boil”: The Best Teaming Rubric Out There.

In essence, the best strategy is to not hire Energy Vampires.

2 – Call Them Out

Too many times we prance around the real problem like we are on egg shells. For example, a team of three teachers at fifth grade level that is having problems. Two of the teachers work well with each other, the last teacher brings negativity to every meeting. The two teachers know as soon as they sit down to meet, the negativity begins. They are reluctant to confront the teacher because they don’t like conflict. Instead of tackling it head on, the negativity persists and the success of the team is already determined.

Jon Gordon confronts energy vampires head on, he tells them, “Look, I don’t allow any negativity on my bus. If you are not going to be positive and contribute to our vision then you’re off the bus and you’ll have to look for another job.”

I understand a teacher may not be able to say those exact words and have the power of hiring and firing a colleague. As a principal, I do want teachers to confront this problem as a team first before it is brought to my attention. Sometimes I don’t even know the problem because teachers didn’t want to burden me with another problem as they see me tackling student and parent issues all day. In reality, I would prioritize this a head of many other problems I deal with daily. If you don’t believe this affects students, then you are mistaken. A teacher versus teacher problem can affect (in the above scenario) upwards of 75 students. Dealing with one student or one parent does not equate to supporting teachers to solve a problem of this magnitude.

Just like working with students, we can address other teachers with some basic verbiage. Using “I” statements is a good start.

• I feel….
• I am frustrated when…
• I am looking for more positive…
• I feel the correct thing is…
• I am disappointed when…

Calling out an energy vampire can take time, especially if you don’t have another option. Depending on the trusting relationship that has been built, determines how blunt your words may need to be when addressing the colleague. Here are some questions to ponder before you call them out:

• Does your team have procedures to tackle curriculum, instruction, and assessment?
• Does your team have a set of procedures when tackling a situation when everyone doesn’t agree?
• Does the teacher know when you get frustrated, mad, or disappointed?
• Does the teacher want to solve problems or merely bask in the smell all day?
• Have you ever told the teacher your true feelings when you get frustrated with them?
• Do you feel you can confront the teacher?

After confronting an energy vampire and letting them know how you feel, did you see a change? If you did, here is a great reinforcing article I wrote that can be shared on the importance of staff culture (I share this with my staff every year), 212 Degrees of Customer Service in Education.

If not, getting support from the principal may be the next step. Hopefully, the principal has had some success with these type of people or has some ideas on what to do next. The principal can back door many conversations with the energy vampire that may help steer the bus in the correct direction. The next step would be having a sit-down with the whole team and walking through some scenarios looking for compromise.

Lastly, if nothing is working so far (and, if the principal is supportive and has a backbone), the next step is for the principal to meet one-on-one with the energy vampire and start a plan of improvement. The rest of the teacher team will not be privy to these conversations, but will hopefully see changes with the team. If the principal doesn’t see changes, then the principal must get the energy vampire off the bus!

We must call out energy vampires!

3 – Treat Energy Vampires as a Sickness

The last option is the most disappointing, but may be the reality for a majority of teachers across the nation. Do not get me wrong, I do care about tenure and I am glad we have it, but there are certain blood sucking people that should not have tenure…you guessed it, ENERGY VAMPIRES!

This option is for the teachers and principals who have put a ton of time and energy into to the vampire, and are getting nowhere with him or her. Unfortunately, the principal may not have went the route of a plan of improvement or evaluated the vampire accordingly (notice how the principal is the key here). There are certain situations where the principal may have prioritized other needs of the school first. In reality, this should be the number one need. An energy vampire affects an enormous amount of students causing problems…problems the principal may not understand are coming to him or her because of this vampire!

If the principal is unable to remove this energy vampire, and your words and efforts have not been fruitful, we must treat them as a sickness. No one wants to get sick…sick from negativity. We wash our hands more, move further away from someone who is coughing, and may even chose to be in another location because of the sickness.

Washing our hands means we are being proactive to not get sick. We may hear negativity, but we move away or combat it with positivity and reframing a conversation. We wash our hands and even put sanitizer on our hands. When we put sanitizer on our hands it is equivalent to finding other people who are positive, or going to a place in our own minds that brings us back to a place of positivity to replace or combat the negativity. We must wash our hands routinely.

We move away from someone who is coughing. We hear the cough, we determine if the person is choking or truly sick. When we determine they are sick, we take preventative measures. In a room where we are required to be, we move away from them. The cough represents spewing negativity. We move away from the negativity and find people in the room that are more positive. It is fascinating how people will move towards other positive people in a room. Just as fascinating are the people that gravitate towards the sickness, or negativity. Why do these people do that? Gossip and negativity intrigue people and it seems to come out of people’s mouths and in their actions much easier than positivity. You know those people who have RBF, Resting Bad Face (Some of you may know a different acronym). Their face makes it look like they are always mad or upset. RBF’s have built in magnets…they attract each other! We must move away from negativity.

If we have the chance to move out of a location where there are sick people, we must do so for safety! Obviously, if we are around sick people, we inevitably will become sick as well. In the education realm, if we have a chance to move away from negativity, we must for the health of our students and ourselves. We must change teams, grade levels, and even schools to get away from this negativity.

Sometimes we are stuck in a situation because it is the only job we can get, the only school in the area, and we are doing the job because we love kids and people in general. If this is the case, then we must treat energy vampires as though they have a sickness. Stay away from energy vampires!

The Top 3 Ways to Ward off Energy Vampires

Energy vampires are people who literally drain others of their energy. Sadly, many of us invite these types of people into our lives before we realize how damaging they truly are.

Most energy vampires are people with good intentions that are just unhappy in their own lives. They manage to damage others without even realizing it. Energy vampires are overwhelmingly negative and if you let them, they will literally suck you dry.

Below I am going to go over several things that will help you identify energy vampires in your life. Once you have sorted them out and spotted them you can work to remove them or limit their presence in your life. If being around someone is bringing you down, you don’t have any kind of obligation to keep them in your life.

Step 1: Ask Yourself

Ask yourself whether or not this person makes you feel better or worse in general. Does being around this person leave you feeling exhausted? Is this person putting you in a bad mood? If the answer to these questions is yes then you’re probably dealing with an energy vampire.

Step 2: Consider Your Happiness

When you are around this person do you literally dread dealing with them? If someone is making you unhappy when you are around them then you need to limit their presence in your life. You don’t have to put your own wellbeing at risk for the sake of others.

Step 3: Set Proper Boundaries

Set boundaries with those energy vampires that you cannot cut out completely. Don’t overdo it when you have to be around them and perhaps keep them out of your home. Boundaries are good for everyone, they allow you to work with someone without having to put yourself at risk.

Step 4: Don’t Be Afraid to Say No

Don’t hesitate to say no when you need to. Saying yes all the time will only leave you more drained than you were, to begin with. You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, never forget that.

Energy vampires can be found in some of the most unexpected places and turn out to be some of the most unexpected people. Take care of yourself no matter what.

How to Spot Energy Vampires and Deal With Them Effectively

3 Simple Rules To Protecting Yourself From Energy Vampires

| | 1 Comment

The human body generates an electromagnetic field. When that field is easily disrupted, it can manifest in many ways including being ‘sensitive’ to people and environments. You might recognize the feelings of being a sensitive soul. Being around a certain someone puts you in a bad mood. Having to go into a crowded party overwhelms you. When someone isn’t happy with you, you feel as if you’re being physically attacked.

Being energetically sensitive means that you’re picking up on and absorbing negative energy from those around you. You’re not just moody! Great news, right?

Having a strong and balanced energy system is the best way I’ve learned to stay protected from energy vampires. Do this daily and you’ll have a little routine that will help strengthen your system so you can be anywhere, at any time, and feel calm and confident.

Rule #1: Balance

Make sure your energy system is strong and balanced. There are many ways to do this but one of my favorites is the “thymus thump.” Thumping a gland in the center of your chest, called the thymus gland, gives you an immune system boost and is also effective for calming fear and balancing your entire system quickly. Simply use your fist and “thump” like Tarzan for about 30 seconds and some big deep breaths.

Rule #2: Ground

Ground your energy. The more grounded, or connected to the earth’s energies you are, the less shaken you’ll be by your environment. A great way to “ground” is by literally pulling your energy down through your feet.

Place your hands at the sides of your waist. With your thumb in the front and fingers toward the back, slide your hands slowly and firmly down your legs. When you get to your feet, squeeze at the sides of your feet. Doing this on grass, dirt, or sand makes it even more powerful.

Rule #3: Protect

By tracing your central meridian, an energy pathway running up the front of your body, also highly attuned to thoughts and emotions, you are able to strengthen it.

Place your hands at the bottom end of the central meridian, which is at your pubic bone. Inhale deeply as you simultaneously pull your hands straight up the center of your body, to your lower lip. Repeat three times. With the electromagnetic force of your hands, you are literally moving the energy in the meridian in the direction of its strength and in turn, the meridian is strengthening you. While doing this exercise, you can also add an affirmation such as “I am safe and protected”.

Breathe! Breathing allows energy movement in your body. If you hold your breath in crowds or around difficult people, you are actually preventing any negative energy from movinʼ right through you.

Cross your arms/legs when feeling energetically vulnerable. This actually protects your aura and creates an energetic shield. Negative energy being directed at you will tend to bounce off of you and return to the sender.

Pick your location wisely. Stand by a window or door in crowds and avoid sitting at the front of a class or room where people direct their energy toward you.

Black tourmaline, a crystal that can be purchased for just a couple of dollars, is an excellent negative energy absorber. Put it in your pocket, purse, or just keep it close by when feeling vulnerable.

Now you have lots of minute-or-less tools to keep you balanced, grounded, and protected. Just don’t forget, they only work if you use them.

Ahhh, doesn’t that feel better already?

3 Simple Rules To Protecting Yourself From Energy Vampires

1. You feel inexplicably exhausted, achy or unmotivated in the hours and days after having contact with them.

2. You feel instinctively avoidant toward answering their calls or making plans, even if you end up doing it eventually.

3. Their negativity carries into the rest of your life, and you find yourself venting to other friends about how frustrating their actions are.

4. They always seem to have a problem that they need you to help solve.

5. They insult you in such a subtle way that you don’t know what’s going on until you’re an hour into the conversation and wondering why you feel so offended.

6. They have warped and illogical views of themselves and the world that they are absolutely convinced are true – to the point that it actually makes you question your own sanity.

7. They are “sure, but” people. They advocate for negativity. You often can’t share good news or a different idea without them immediately jumping to invalidate it in some way.

8. You witness them almost having multiple personalities: acting as though they are best friends with one person, and then speaking of them like they are worst enemies when they aren’t around.

9. You are never quite sure where you stand. Their disapproval is irrational and unpredictable, and they keep you constantly on your toes.

10. You often get nervous before you go to hang out with them. For some reason, you worry about what you look like, how they will perceive you, what you will make conversation about, and so on.

11. You feel like you always have to prove yourself to them.

12. They position themselves in a place of superiority. You and everyone else are made to think that they are the best at whatever they are involved in.

13. You feel more compelled to convince them that you are “cool” and “good enough” than you want to connect with them genuinely and share the details of your life.

14. They are melodramatic about absolutely everything, to the point that you start to assume they are dramatizing for the sake of getting an emotional reaction out of you.

15. They like gossip and petty drama, and always seem to want to talk about other people when you’re together.

16. They make you more uncertain about your life and your future than they inspire and motivate you to go after your dreams.

17. They have oddly strong and negative opinions about everyone, even people they just met or only know vaguely.

18. They only support you when you’re down and out – when you’re thriving and succeeding, they seem to be nowhere around.

19. They are completely in denial that the problem is them. If you dare try to bring up the fact that you’re upset with their actions, they will deflect, deny and gaslight you into believing the problem has been you all along.

Stop Energy Vampires From Sucking Your Energy In 10 Elegant Ways

Even if you haven’t heard the term “energy vampire” before, you’ve surely experienced the phenomenon. You know that exhausted, worn out feeling you get after being with someone who just emotionally drains you? Yep, that’s an energy vampire in action, sucking out all your good vibes, leaving you frustrated and tired.

The bad news is that keeping garlic around isn’t going to be enough to ward off this type of vampire. Instead, you will have to be proactive in protecting yourself, which begins with identifying the perpetrator. Energy vampires and their soul-sucking behaviors come in many different forms. Some examples are those who love to gossip and start drama, who are extremely self-deprecating, or those who simply never have anything positive to say.

Energy vampires aren’t necessarily bad people, and we’ve probably all been in their shoes at one point. Some people simply don’t know how to cope with their own problems, and a lot of the time, they might not have a clue that their behavior is impacting you negatively. This is why it’s crucial to set boundaries with energy vampires, so their negative impact on you is minimal.

6 Tips for Setting Boundaries with Energy Vampires

1. Listen to your body

After spending time with an energy vampire, your body may give you clues, like feeling fatigued. Talkspace therapist Cynthia Catchings, LCSW-S, shares, “My top tip for setting boundaries with energy vampires is to educate ourselves to recognize the signs; our body is usually trying to tell us something and we have to learn to listen.”

This way, the next time you come in contact with someone with energy-sucking tendencies, you’ll know what’s going on and you’ll be prepared to take the next steps.

2. Remember that you are in control

While it may not feel like it, you are, in fact, the one in control in these situations. The power to feel better is in your hands.

“Keeping these vampires in your life will be more detrimental to your physical and mental health,” Catchings says, “You have the power to let them go and live a happy life.”

It’s up to you whether or not you want to continue a relationship with an energy vampire. You aren’t doomed to having your energy drained forever if you’re willing to make a change.

3. Be straightforward and non-confrontational

Being straightforward is the best way to speak to an energy vampire, according to Talkspace therapist Rachel O’Neil, Ph.D.

“Work on being straightforward. Explain how their behavior has impacted your well-being,” O’Neill says, “At the same time, reinforce that you value your relationship with them and are committed to maintaining a relationship. These conversations tend to work best when you’re not at a high emotional level and can express your feelings in a non-confrontational way.”

You can write out some talking points, or practice with someone you trust beforehand, so you’ll feel more prepared and less emotional.

4. Take a break

“Breaks” aren’t just for romantic relationships. You might need to take a step away from someone to assess your relationship and to notice how different you feel when you’ve distanced yourself.

“Sometimes, a simple break from the person can help you to feel better equipped to deal with them,” O’Neil advises, “If that still doesn’t work and they don’t seem committed to changing their behavior, then you may have to make some long term adjustments.”

5. Know when to cut someone out completely

For better or worse, we can’t change people. However, we can change the way we interact with them. You have to weigh the pros and cons of the relationship, and be ready to walk away if necessary. If your situation isn’t improving even after some straightforward communication, you might need to take some more drastic steps.

“If you’ve tried to talk with them about their behavior and they aren’t receptive to feedback or lapse back into their old ways, then perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate your relationship with them,” O’Neil states.

6. Don’t feel guilty for setting boundaries

Don’t confuse setting boundaries for being cruel. Setting boundaries doesn’t make you a mean person! Remember, you ultimately need to do what is best for you and your mental health, and that’s nothing to feel guilty about.

“Sometimes, people can feel guilty or upset about having to set boundaries. It’s okay to feel this way but it’s important to still be firm in the boundaries you set,” O’Neil urges.

Remember, You’re In Control

In the end, you control how much energy that energy vampires suck out of you. You need positive energy and strength to be your best self and get through life — so don’t give others the power to take it away from you.

Learning to say no and set boundaries will ultimately make you a much stronger person, and there’s no better time to start than now.

How to Banish Energy Vampires & Reclaim Your Life

by Conscious Reminder

Has your progress in the previous year’s been suffocated due to energy vampires? Are you looking forward to getting rid of them and progressing your life with full energy and positivity?

If yes, then you must make sure to look things from a different perspective in this coming year and start to manage your things well. Management is important as it is your management (your handling of energy vampires) only that allows them to sap your energy. They thrive on your positivity and energy and leave you depleted, thus it is a one-sided affair which must be ended soon.

Sometimes you know that you need to cut your ties with the energy vampire but you are not able to do so because of the social pressures. You are afraid of the name calling. You handle not just your energy but also your consent and powers into the hands of those who use it against you.

Why? Why are you so afraid of the lashing back of the energy vampires? What values does it hold for you?

You must not be afraid of the temporary name calling, it will be over soon. The amount of energy and time that you’ll save just by staying away from the energy vampires will be enough for you to progress ahead in your life.

Here are the top 3 ways for dealing with energy vampires

1. Say NO

You must learn to say no when you really want to say no. When you commit yourself to a task that you do not want to engage in, then it not only depletes your time and energy, it also expands your association with the low energy things.

IF you want to live a happy and successful life, then you must learn to say NO without the need of giving any explanations.

Saying no will bring joy and purpose in your life as you’ll be able to focus on the things you want in the life. It is a strong tool to move away from your habit of people pleasing.

2. Find some Alone time.

You must never pass on any opportunity to be with yourself as it is the best chance for you to reflect on your own self and to know yourself better. Dalai Lama believes that spending some Alone time is extremely important for success as it allows you to influence yourself before the world influences you. Also, this puts in a situation of taking control of your own life, that is, being the CEO of your life.

3. Do not look at the past, look forward.

When you are in bad times, never look at the past for hating yourself for the mistakes you committed. Instead look at the future to explore the opportunities that are waiting for you at the horizon of time. Even when you think about the past, never hate yourself for it, instead try to learn form the mistakes and move ahead.

If you’ll apply these 3 ideas in your life, you’ll always be able to stay away from the energy vampires and can work towards achieving your goals with full energy and enthusiasm.

2018 Is a year of progress and personal empowerment. Stay blessed.

Conquering Energy Vampires: 5 Ways To Protect Your Positive Energy

You work hard, and there’s never enough time in the day to get everything done, it seems.  You do everything you can think of to prioritize, schedule time for important things and work efficiently.  Whatever is within your control, you’ve mastered it.

Often, you’d be able to get more done if it weren’t for that co-worker, too.  You may be in the unfortunate situation to be in regular contact with an “Energy Vampire”.   These are people who seem to get your attention at the most inopportune times. They draw you into a conversation that leaves you feeling exhausted. You’ve probably tried to graciously get away, but you feel trapped.  An energy vampire may interrupt you at every turn, be the purveyor of office gossip or take way too long to leave your desk because they have “one more thing” that is so important. You leave the interaction feeling depleted and off-kilter.

Here are practical steps you can take to minimize the distraction and keep your energy protected from this type of difficult co-worker.

Types of Energy Vampires at Work

First, you need to know is what you’re dealing with. Energy vampires come in many forms, but a few types are more common than others.

The Melodramatic

This person has a poor concept of personal boundaries. He or she really just isn’t aware of what’s appropriate to share at work and what isn’t and lacks an understanding about the context of your relationship. Whether it’s deeply personal information (“I think my boyfriend is cheating on me”), or about a mutual co-worker’s food choices, you really aren’t interested.  They take up unreasonable amounts of your time talking and seem to think you are closer friends than you assume (or want to be).  These individuals are highly attuned to rejection, so much so that they can’t seem to detach and move on when necessary. Whether you like it or not, you get sucked in and need to extract yourself from the situation.

What to do:  Be kind, but short.  Make sure you are clearly communicating. For instance “I don’t feel comfortable talking about so-and-so” or “This sounds important to you, but can we focus on A, B and C?”.  Complement your words with strong non-verbal signals too.  Stand up and motion towards closing your office door, start typing or walk away.

Former Monk Explains How to Spot And Deal With an Energy Vampire

Hiya Gorgeous!

A couple of months ago I shared my friend Dr. Christiane Northrup’s online course, Dodging Energy Vampires: An Empath’s Guide to Health & Regaining Power, with our community. Chris’s teachings (and friendship) have impacted my life in a big way, and it warmed my heart to see so many of you connect with her message. I received beautiful responses from people saying that the course helped them identify their energy vampires and start to heal the toxic relationships that had plagued them for years.

Since her message resonated with our community, I asked Chris for some more practical tips that you can put to use right away to protect yourself from toxic relationships with energy vampires. But before we dive into that, I want to share something personal with you—one of my own energy vampire stories.

Facing my energy vampires.

When I was newly diagnosed, I was shocked by the folks who needed me to take care of them. There I was, super scared and fragile, sharing my incurable, stage IV cancer diagnosis and before I knew what hit me, I was comforting them—again and again. It was as if my diagnosis was just so sad and depressing and somehow I needed to cheer them up. Who would be there for them if I went away? If I could get really sick maybe they could too? And so on…

Look, I get it and have compassion, mortality wake-up calls push everyone’s buttons. They certainly pushed mine and I didn’t always bring my best self to the situation either. But when I look back, I can clearly see that a few of these people had always drawn on my energy. There was never a give and take, only a take and take.

I’m not judging these well-meaning folks, but there came a time when I could no longer carry the load for both of us. I had to conserve my energy for my healing—my life depended on it.

Now I want to make something very clear: I don’t advocate walking away from a friendship you care about without having a difficult conversation first. You might be surprised what kind of healing can take place when you give people a chance. I voiced my needs to my friends and some of the relationships became more fulfilling and balanced than ever before. In other cases, the relationships took a back burner, and some even ended, as I focused on my well-being. And that’s ok, too.

I’m hoping that by reading one of my examples of how these toxic relationships might play out, you can better understand how energy vampires work and start to identify, heal or release these relationships in your own life. Or at the very least, learn how to protect your precious energy.

I also hope my example shows you that not everyone who needs you or is going through a tough time is an energy vampire. We all react differently to tragedy, stress, frustration, etc.—and we’re all deserving of love, understanding and patience.

OK, now that we got that squared away—on to Chris’s tips!

Dr. Northrup’s Tips for Protecting Yourself from Energy Vampires

1. Know what to look for.

According to Chris, true energy vampires are masters of disguise. They can be sneaky. But, there are some key red flags to look out for. Energy vampires are manipulative and charming. Because they get their self-esteem from other people, they constantly seek validation and need to be the center of attention. They’re stubborn and rarely back down from disagreements. They call you to talk for hours about what’s going on in their world and never ask how you’re doing.

Keep in mind, energy vampires may have all of these traits, and some might just have one or two. Chris’s advice is to trust your first impression before you talk yourself out of it. If you have one of those deep, inexplicable feelings that someone isn’t good for you, you’re probably right.

2. You can’t revamp a vamp.

As empaths, we see the best in people. Because of that, we often ignore red flags or look at toxic relationships as fixer upper projects. But here’s the thing: We can’t change people. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t learn and grow in our relationships—that’s one of the best parts! But, trying to force change on an unwilling party rarely works, and it often leaves us drained or sick.

This is important, so listen close. Hardcore energy vampires don’t want to be fixed. In fact, Chris says that they usually know exactly what they’re up to. And because they depend on your energy for fuel, they’ll take you up on your attempts to help them—with no intention of changing their ways. You deserve unselfish love and someone who can give that to you doesn’t need to be convinced.

3 Ways to Protect Yourself from Energy Vampires

What has suffocated your progress? (Notice I said, “what” not “who”?) Now that Mercury Retrograde has completed, it’s clear that 2018 holds no room for the energy vampires in your life.

However, it’s not the energy vampires who strip you of your progress…it’s your management of them. Your kindness that suffocates your progress for the sake of “keeping the peace” is no peace at all… it’s not even a compromise.

It’s people-pleasing, it’s low energy, and it’s the energy supplykeeping energy vampires thriving and you depleted.

Here’s the thing… an energy vampire only knows how to behave like an energy vampire and only looks to you and others to supply them what they need. This is a one-sided win. The moment you cut the supply they’ll stop looking for it.

Oh but the name calling… and the lashing back from the energy vampires!

What of it? Why does it hold value for you?

It’s coming from a very low vibrating energy source…and therefore holds little value (if any at all), yes?

The name calling from the energy vampires camp will be temporary and anything and anyone who chooses to align with that is simply the continued clarity and uncluttering that must unfold. Uncomfortable…yes…but ultimately a very good thing for you. Trust the process.

Get stronger by being more aware of your own awareness (and less reliant on your excuses):

1. STOP SAYING YES WHEN EVERY FIBER OF YOUR BEING SCREAMS NO!

Every single time you do this you add an energy and momentum creating more space between you and what you want in your life.

Saying ‘Yes’ when you mean ‘No’ is low vibrating energy andexpands on the things aligned with low vibrating energy. Is this what you want? Commit right now to practicing the art of saying, ‘No’ without explanation.

Recommended: The 5 Worst Types Of Emotional Vampires That Are Out To Ruin Your Life

No is a positive word if it means staying the course to a meaningful life with more joy and purpose (remember this next time you have to say no). Lean into the purpose and away from people-pleasing.

2. FIND YOUR OWN STRENGTH ALONE, FIRST

In the Dalai Lama’s 18 rules for living, he states, “Spend time alone every day.” Get strong by learning who you are and why you are, BEFORE the influences of the world impact your energy, your mood, your actions, and ultimately your life.

Manage you and how you choose to be influenced (by authentic leaders, masters, teachers, etc…) and in order to do that, you MUST be the CEO of your life. Demand time alone, schedule it and do it.

3. FORWARD NOT PAST (BE AWARE OF YOUR OWN INNER CONVERSATION, THOUGHTS, AND ACTION)

Get busy thinking about possibilities for your future versus dwelling on your past (or even present unhappy circumstances).

Instead of hating what happened, learn to LOVE the lesson and apply what you’ve learned into actions in favor of a brighter future. Look for ways to make your own life more fun and interesting and STOP being reliant on others for it.

Truth be told…as you apply these new ideas into your life a filteringprocess will commence and it’ll be clumsy and uncomfortable. REMEMBER… 2018 holds no room for the energy vampires in your life and it’s up to you (and you only) to cut the supply, protect your peace and enter 2018 cleared of the energy cluster.

Recommended: 9 Signs You Are Being Attacked by an Energy Vampire

Stay the course aligned with the greatest and highest good. In fact, be so good that no matter what any energy vampire says about you, no one could possibly believe it.

2018 is a year of personal empowerment and for that to happen you must release what weighs you down.
