Day 369 || Contagious Energy

We often let ourselves get swept up in other peoples problems as a way to avoid dealing with our own bullshit or sometimes just because it’s hard not to - like I said - energy is contagious as fuck and toxic energy is the most contagious of all. So we have to definitely be aware of that reality and get comfortable catching ourselves when we start sinking into the cycles that we don’t want to get into.

This is why - I think - so many people harp on the importance of a healthy social group - because toxicity travels. It spreads. But so does positivity. When your friends are fired up about life and hyped about the day ahead - you’re far more likely to be psyched up too. If you have to spend every day picking your friends out of the slumps - and they don’t want to get out on their own - you’re more likely to join them in the slump than they are to escape it.

You can absolutely bring other people up but they can bring you down twice as easily. So be conscious of your own place, your own energy, your own mindset, and how you’d like to experience a situation before you enter it so you can more effectively notice and catch whenever someone is dragging you into their mess.
