**This is a reposted blog article from May 2013. I brought it out of the archives
because I thought it would be interesting to get new feedback on it.**
I had an interesting conversation with my friend Brittany a really long time ago (January, I think), but it's been stuck in my head ever since. She told me about an article she read where the person talked about the energy you bring into a space. When I was searching online, I found this blog post; apparently the concept was mentioned on Oprah but originates from Jill Nolte Taylor's book My Stroke of Insight.
Anyway, it's an interesting concept to think about: If there were a group of people in a room and you walked in what sort of energy would you bring to the room? In essence, how do you make others feel?
It's a great question to ask yourself and then an honest friend. What kind of energy do you think you bring to a room? What kind do you want to bring to a room? And then what of energy do you actually bring?
In the back of my mind, while Brittany and I were talking, I was hoping she would say that my energy is friendly and warm, and that I make her feel accepted. Luckily, she said exactly what I hoped she would!
What kind of energy do you bring to a room?
Lovely post and interesting read, thanks for sharing! <3

ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI always feel like I come off super awkward and shy with new people! But in reality, I love to listen. I tend to let the new person I'm speaking with steer the conversation until I'm a little more comfortable to chat back and forth regularly. So hopefully people would find me a good listener, someone they are comfortable to speak with?
ReplyDeleteI feel I'm quite shy and awkward, but I do get more confident after a bit.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm all bark and no bite, I can be really confident and almost aggressive with people, but then in reality I'm really mellow and shy. I almost have a persona that comes out when I'm out and about that clashes with who I am at home.
ReplyDeleteOh this is so interesting! Everyone at work says that I am really bubbly, but I actually don't feel bubbly and I would never use that to describe myself. Its interesting to see how others perceive you, and how you perceive yourself!
