Humans are made up of energy, and everything around us in the vast universe exists in different forms of energy. So, whenever we talk to someone or listen to their problems, we experience an exchange of energy. For instance, when your friend tells you about their crappy day, you might feel overwhelmed, annoyed, or even exhausted due to their negative energy.
We can’t eliminate all the negative emotions or situations, but we can ensure that other people’s energy doesn’t affect our lives and work. To maintain emotional stability and lead a healthy and sustainable life, it’s essential to eliminate all negativity and distractions. You can try these tips to protect your energy and avoid receiving negative energy from those around you:

If you ever feel completely drained and don’t know why, it’s a sign that your energy is running low. To recharge your batteries, find a healing space and quickly boost your energy levels.
A healing space is where you don’t need your phone or other distractions to feel good. All you need to do is enter that space, take a moment to relax, and allow positive energy to fill your soul. Your “happy space” can be anywhere that makes you feel cozy, safe, and peaceful, like a comfy corner in your house, bed, office, or favorite coffee shop. Find a spot that makes you feel good, and let it work magic!
2. Take longer showers

Do you ever feel like your life is a total mess? There’s always much to do, like work, studying, and keeping up with friends and family. Showering or bathing is one of the only times you tune out the world.
Unfortunately, most of us can’t just take a whole day off to relax. But you can take a little extra time in the shower or bath to wash away all the negative stuff bugging you all day. Also, a warm bath can help with headaches, muscle aches, and tension.
So don’t consider bathing a tedious chore – it’s a way to recharge your energy and refresh. Next time you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed, take a few extra minutes to pamper yourself. You deserve it!
3. Be aware of the factors that impact your energy

Every day, you soak up energy from different people, situations, and events without realizing it. Your thoughts, feelings, and words also emit energy that affects others. Right now, there’s a lot of energy swirling around you, which makes it easy for outside energy to mess with your head.
Before you try to sort out your emotions, take a minute to ask yourself if what you’re feeling is yours. Is someone else’s bad mood rubbing off on you? Is there a situation that’s stressing you out? Are you doing things you don’t want to do just because someone else asked you to? Knowing where your energy comes from is essential if you want to protect your energy.
4. Set personal boundaries

Personal boundaries are like rules you set to protect your vibe from negative stuff around you. They’re super important for having good relationships. So, you have to watch out for people who constantly whine about the same old stuff, never listen to your advice, or don’t wanna improve their situation. You don’t have to listen to someone who only talks about their problems without knowing how you feel. Setting boundaries means you can say no to uncomfortable chats, reject requests you don’t want to, and focus on your own thing. When you stick to your values and boundaries, you’ll feel more chill and in control when hanging out with others.
