Most people race out of bed, their body several paces behind their overreaching mind. This sets them up to be overly reactive and emotional and their reactions to events, unpredictible and potentially regrettable.
Did you know that we actually have control over where are energy flows and to whom? So, why not be deliberate and make certain it is evenly distributed to all parts of your body. If your mind is overreaching, always overanalyzing, pondering the whatfor’s or filled with worry, then a disproportionate amount of energy is in your brain, thereby starving the rest of your body of energy and oxygen. This is a highly dangerous state. It’s not possible to have any type of emotional, mental and spiritual well-being let alone equilibrium in this predicament. You will be prone to overreact, make decisions that you regret and have a lot of messes to clean up.
Harnessing your energy can prevent all of this. One way you can do this is by letting go of what is to come tomorrow, being fully present and connecting to that deeper energy that pulses within you: the frequency of love, freedom, joy, kindness, and compassion. Someone once said, “If you live in the past that’s depression, and if you live in the future that’s anxiety. So you have no choice but to live in the present.” How can you master living in the present? This is where meditation and prayer come in real handy. The moment you feel yourself get ‘mental’ or overly emotional, that is your call to action to stop what you are doing and engage in a practice, prayer or mantra that will refocus you. When you connect to that deeper energy, you are able to be more balanced and get that energy redistributed.
If you are a Christian, that deeper energy is the Holy Spirit. He is your superpower and holy helper because He is an infinite source of wisdom, power and strength. Being ’empowered’ by the Holy Spirit is the antithesis of having a power leak. In other words, if you are having a power leak, your power source is not turned on and you are not availing yourself to the power that is within you.
People who are searching for answers outside of themselves and attaching to other’s identities and false belief systems are suffering from an identity crisis. This only produces a growing sense of lack which in turn, causes you to feel as if you are not in control of your life and emotions. This is what sets you up to have one power leak after the next.
Remember that no one can make you feel a certain way unless you allow it to happen. And no one can steal your power. You give it away.
