One of our most valuable natural resources is our own energy.  Being able to manage energy efficiently and effectively goes a long way in determining our ability to be successful in all areas of life.  Imagine your energy as money in the bank.  You only have so much to spend on those things that are important to you.

I recently noticed how we waste our energy and aren't even aware of it.  A recent conversation with a friend brought this to light.  She was complaining about how a mutual friend handled a particular situation involving another friend.  Bear in mind that the situation she was talking about had nothing to do with her whatsoever.

There are two lessons on energy management here:  The first is complaining, and the second is putting our nose in other people's business.

1.  Stop complaining.  Complaining keeps your energy stuck in a lower vibrational frequency.  It also brings everyone within earshot into a lower frequency.  It's like putting your energy dollars into the lowest yield vehicle around.  Eckhart Tolle says, "Nonresistance is the greatest key to the power of the Universe." Complaining is giving voice to resistance of "what is," rather than accepting things are they are without wanting them to be any different.

Unfortunately , complaining is part of our national culture.  It's so insidious that we're not even aware we are doing it. 

Suggestion: Refrain from complaining for 21 days.  If you slip up, start over at day one. I find myself at day one alot! You'll soon realize how much time and energy is spent resisting what is, and thereby resisting the Universe. Seal up this major energy leak by cutting out the complaining.

2.  Mind your own business.  The yogic saying, "Keep your eyes on your own mat." applies here.  We're so concerned with what other people do or don't do.  If you're really living your life purpose, you don't have energy to spare putting our nose where it doesn't belong.  Take care of your own business, and invest your energy in a higher vibrational frequency, which has a much higher yield.

Suggestion:  When you find yourself jumping into the fray to defend someone else, complain about someone else, or judge someone else, reconsider if that's a good investment of your energy dollars.

I hope these tips help you to live the life you were meant to live, in full acceptance of "what is."

Namaste,
