Going Green.

It seems to be all the rage today. Hybrid cars, recycling, organic foods, and of course not wasting energy. These are all great for the environment what are we doing for ourselves? Are you wasting your emotional energy?

There is both positive and negative emotional energy. Negative emotional energy comes in the form hate, anger, and frustration. If you hate someone you give them negative emotional energy. If you get frustrated at their actions you’re using emotional energy. Most negative energy is wasteful. But it’s also the easiest to stop wasting. Just don’t feed the negative feelings. You remove yourself from the people that make you angry, frustrated, or that you hate.

Positive energy comes in the form of love, caring, and happiness. This energy, in my life, is what I give the most of. Who doesn’t feel good giving love? Or caring for someone? Who doesn’t like to be happy? It feels so good to give positive energy because we crave it in return. When we get positive energy for giving positive energy we’re not wasting it. It’s very healthy to feed off of it and I believe as you give positive energy, and get positive energy, you have more to give.

But what if you’re giving positive energy and you don’t get it in return? You’re wasting it. If you keep giving it and don’t get it in return you’re going to drain yourself completely. I feel for people who don’t have emotional energy. Their not in touch with their feelings. They don’t have love to give. And sadly they don’t care.

I’m afraid the only way to stop wasting positive emotional energy is to remove yourself from the people who will take and take and take you’re emotional energy and not give back. It’s not easy because you love and care for them. But if they don’t start giving back and you don’t remove yourself from them, you’ll waste all your energy and become a shell of who you are.

It’s nice to be concerned about the environment, recycle, eat organic, and use energy efficient products. But take some of those ideals and apply them to yourself and stop wasting your emotional energy.
