Invisible vampires?~

Nowadays, vampires is synonym with Edward Cullen nor Bella Swan. But, no, this isn't about them. Same creatures, but different stories.. :)

Ever heard about "Energy Vampires"? It's refers to those who sap your energy off you, make you feel down and drained, weak. Some people call them, "vibe suckers", or "mood hoovers".

I think all of us do have this kind of people buzzing around, who always dampen our mood. Daily. And only God knows how, how tiresome it is..

Moods and energy are infectious. Positive people can do wonders to our mind, bring us along with their flawless thought about how bright this life can be. Same thing happen when you tend to tangled around those negatives. "Energy vampires" thrive on negativity, unwilling to see life in a positive ways. They drained your energy along, drag you down.

No matter how hard we tried to highlight the positives, they always turned it back to their negative thoughts. But don't blame them, as they usually unaware of it.

Signs you've been struck by "Energy Vampire":

• exhausted and feeling unease after being in their company.
• feel negative and down.
• feeling dread seeing them again.
• stressed and tense from the thought of seeing them.

So, what should you do?

1. State your case: they are unaware of it. So try to tell them personally. Tell them exactly how you feel. Little chance to say it face to face? Then type it down. By doing this, you can also arrange your thoughts, one by one so that no one will get hurt.
2. Imagine: you might feel miserable when these vampires often appear in front of you, maybe at work or home. Create your own shell then. Imagine of having a big radiated shell around you, that no one can get through it without your consent. It is a powerful shell that helps reflect back all those negative charges and thoughts. It works in me! :)
3. Affirmations: It is a powerful statements that we say to ourselves. It has strong influence to our state of mind. No one can make us feel inferior without our consent. As for me, before beginning answering my exam, I usually take a time to calm myself down in a positive way. I keep repeating my affirmation, "I can do it. I've read all the books, I can remember it. Arrange, and write." Write your own affirmation to face those vampires. eg:"I have a strong and positive power all the time".

Well then, good luck~ :)

“We live in a world of free choice, and it is our choice to be sucked down by those who complain about everything, those who see the negative, dark side of everything, those for whom it can never be right. Remember that this way of being is their choice. The negative life they lead is a choice, their creation, although they may not be aware that they are the author of their own misery. We too have choice. Energy vampires cannot drain our vitality without our permission. We don’t need to be a part of their world. Open up to them your own world of positivity, energy, joy and love, and invite them to participate fully in it. Their failure to join you is not your problem.”
