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!

So what kind of energy do you think you bring to a room?
Cute boots, and great question!

That book seems really interesting. I hope I get some Sara-energy in my life really soon! Let's eat chocolate and have some more interesting conversations. :D
ReplyDeleteYes definitely!
DeleteThat's really interesting! I bring better energy when I write/blog (attracting others) than I do in person. HaHaHa It's really weird.

Thanks!
DeleteSo true. I saw a quote on pinterest that I loved, " Please take responsibility for the energy that you bring into this space". I think it was a decorative sign or something. I def know a few people who bring a lot of anxiety into every situation just with their presence. I wonder what people would say about me? Def something to think about.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote!
DeleteGreat blog post! In all honesty I think it depends on the mood I'm in. If it's hot out and I'm hungry a.k.a. 'hangry' (hungry + angry) I'd probably bring in a bad energy, but if I was my usual cool/feed self I'd probably bring in some sunshine with my loud laugh my and goofy demeanor.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point! Mood is an important factor!
DeleteI think about this whole idea quite a lot and often try and remind myself to make sure I bring the best energy I can into a space.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that you do that! I do the same!
DeleteI know only the energy of my lovely husband - he´s so charismatic and he fills every room when he enters ...
ReplyDeleteAnd I´m sure that your energy is absolutely friendly and warm :)

That's wonderful that you have such a great husband!
DeleteHaving never met you in person I could only guess that you would be friendly and warm so I'm glad that I'm right :) I hope I bring a fun and open energy- so that people will want to talk to me!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! You're so kind!
DeleteI definitely bring the exciting and LOUD energy to a room. I am very outspoken! i know you would be friendly and inviting. Hope you had a great Wednesday, my dearest Sara!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you know your energy!
DeleteI've never read that book, but now I want to check it out! :D

It looks really interesting!
DeleteGreat post! ^^
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting concept... when I read the first paragraph of your post, I immediately thought of a few people I've known over the years who have brought negative energy and how it can actually make conversation go cold when they enter a room! When it happens you never really think too much about it but that unconscious attitude people have really does impact others around them. I hope that mine is positive...!
ReplyDeletexox,
Cee
So true! Negative energy can be so bad and make the whole mood go sour! I think you have a very positive energy!
Deletei think i bring a fun and silly energy, i hope people can truly be natural and themselves around me :)
ReplyDeleteVery true!
