emotional vampireDo you ever feel your energy being drained when hanging around certain individuals? Is it always about them and their problems? Is there constant negativity? I like to call these energy drainers Emotional Vampires. Yes, that’s what I said…..Vampires!  They will suck the life right out of you without you being aware of it!

The first thing I notice when hanging around someone new, a family member, or longtime friend, are the words they use.  How much of the conversation is directed upon themselves?  Do I feel drained after speaking with them?  Do I feel this relationship is beneficial to my emotional well being?  Ask yourself these questions and see what you come up with.

Most of us have at least one or more Emotional Vampires in our lives without even being conscious of it. It could be a spouse, partner, parent, boss, co-worker, friend, etc. They exist everywhere!  Emotional Vampires get their fix by feeding off of your emotions…..that’s how they survive.

I came across this video the other day and immediately knew I wanted to share it. I hope you can find the six minutes to watch it. I’ve been thinking about writing some sort of commentary, however the video does a find job of speaking for itself. This speech was given in 1992, at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro,the girls name is Severn Cullis-Suzuki and her speech was given at a UN assembly in Brazil, in this video she is 12 years old.

What did I love about this short video. First and foremost I admire her sincerity and courage at 12 years old. My favorite line… “if you don’t know how to fix it, then stop breaking it.” This video really help to put things into perspective, for me it does anyway. It reminds me to take notice of what I’m really concerned about; and is it really that big of a deal. Taking the focus off of the ego self, and placing back onto the whole self, which includes all of life.

When you graduated high school did you have an exact plan for your life? I did only because my senior project was based on a five year plan. Over the weekend I had the opportunity to speak with some fresh out of high school students about their plans for the future. I learned so much in just the short amount of time spent asking questions and receiving answers.

Here some of the questions I asked;

  • 1. Do you plan on going to college?
  • 2. What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
  • 3. Are you currently working and if so, where?
  • 4. Why do you feel pressured to ‘Do Something’ with your life right now?
  • 5. If tomorrow didn’t exist, what desire would you be fulfilling at this very moment?
