Ever woken up in a bad mood and it set the tone for your whole day? Or just felt happy for no reason and everything just seemed easy.  These are both examples of energetic states.  Most people don’t give any attention or thought to their energy or that of others.  That’s a shame because noticing and working with your energy is one of the most profound yet simple things you can do to improve your life. 

So, if you are reading this and find that you are taking something in your life far too seriously, look for the humor, or a glimmer of joy, or a spark of love and acceptance in it.  I think you’ll find it will break things wide open. 

Do you have different personas for different groups that you interact with?  Do you change your behavior and ideas to fit in with friends, family, coworkers, supervisors?  Do you wonder what people would think if they only knew the real you? 

These are all common ways we interact in the world.  Why? Because we think it will be easier, or people will like us better if we blend in.  These tactics do work…for a while.
