How to Keep Your Energy Juicy when Life isn't Going to Plan

What do I mean by juicy energy? You know; it's your mojo baby, your spark, light, power, passion, confident, sense of knowing. I'm sure you've met someone and felt amazing just being with them, their energy is a delight to be around and they aren't even doing or saying anything in particular, you just feel their vibe.

You know when your energy is juicy because its with you, its in the moment, its you feeling love, trust, gratitude, abundant, sexy and powerful and you know when your energy has shrivelled, cause you feel overwhelmed, anxious, unsure, stuck and worried.

You let your juice get sucked dry when you allow people, places, events or situations to have your energy and take greater importance than your own. Why would you do that? because you may not feel completely loved or worthy, you may be trying to please or fix to feel loved and appreciated, you may be trying to control a person or situation to get the outcome you want to avoid feeling rejected and keep your sense of safety and support.

How to know if you're letting your juice run dry

• You shut up & shy away when you want to say something
• You compare yourself to others to feel better or worse about yourself
• You go along with something when you know its not right for you just to keep others happy
• You try to control people and situations to feel how you want to feel
• You let others make decisions for you
• You don't take responsibility for your life and your part in things
• You hope for change rather than taking any action
• You avoid people or situations because your afraid of what may happen or what people may think of you

It all boils down to one thing... You simply can't own your power unless you know and believe you are powerful 

The irony is you need your power the most when shit goes bad, and that's when you give it away! You kinda pop your own balloon when you most need to rise above 

If you don't believe you have any power or are powerless then it points to a lack of self worth, you give your power away unknowingly because you believe that others are more than you are. More what? 

You may have the perception that others are better, smarter, thinner, fitter, sexier, successful and so on (i'm sure you've got your own list!)

And all that thinking leaves you feeling about as small as a sultana when you could be a big juicy grape!

The great news is that you have the power over your power! You get to decide and you control it, so its time to let go of controlling everything around you hoping that that will help you feel safe and loved (you know it doesn't really work)

Big SIGH! It's ok, here is something that can help

This is a technique I use to keep myself feeling juicy when life feels overwhelming;

1. I imagine all my energy coming back to me from all people, places and events, I imagine it as golden threads of light, you may imagine it as light or colour or shapes, however it works for you
2. The energy comes back into my body (usually around my solar plexus area as this is the centre of my being and is the centre of personal power)
3. I seal the energy in, usually with a shape or symbol, sometimes more golden colour to keep the energy in
4. I give the energy I've received back a feeling (usually unconditional love which is the most juicy feeling) 
5. I allow this feeling of love with the beautiful golden light to spread through my whole body and out around me like a big juicy golden grape
6. I decide that my power is back and I go about my day (you are the master of your energy so you decide when your done, sometimes it takes 30 seconds to do this whole process, sometimes it can take half an hour)

I do this whenever I am feeling anxious or worried because those feelings are a sign to me that I'm giving my power away and I need to bring it back

I hope this helps you all feel juicy!
