Bad vibes

You ever feel like some self doubt or something that feels negative out of nowhere? Like I am not talking about the moments where you are running in circles in your head stressing your own self out with negativity. I’m talking about the moments where you are feeling good and great and then bam out of no where you start to feel an energy take over. It tries to play on your already weak insecurities. But there it is, how did it come to be here when the last moment was just full of being present or hopeful.

Now I don’t know about you but there are people out there that want you to fail. They see your shine and they don’t like you radiating more brightly than they are. Those negative people love to try to bring you down to their level because they love to share the misery and “not be alone in their own shit.” Well those same people definitely can send bad vibes your way. They don’t wish you well and will never own up to it. That is what I am talking about when you start to feel that surge of negative emotions. It comes in like a crippling force and normally I don’t know about you but I took it as my own story. Claiming it even though it never was. I claimed it because I thought it was my own thoughts stirring the pot. 

That is why they tell you never to share the things your doing to reach your goals. Because there are plenty of people who have lots of their own self doubt or jealousy or whatever negative crap rooting for you to fail because they aren’t doing their own work. When I was younger I use to feel that way. I was so negative because of everything I went through that I didn’t see the point in anything. Now that’s not an excuse it just was my realty. I was bitter at anyone who was better or more talented then me because I didn’t have any self worth at all. This was probably my early twenties to mid twenties, the time of reckoning where I was in love with the pain, keeping my mind closed. That is why I can speak on this type of energy. I wouldn’t root necessarily for them to fail but I wouldn’t want to see them succeed either. I was a different person back then and now I know we are all meant for greatness. It’s just up to you to decide if you want to put the work in for that greatness. 

Bad vibes come around and can start to derail your progress. In order to guard yourself from this you must first decide if it is your energy, emotions, or you causing this. If it feels like something you are doing to yourself then I suggest you flip the switch. Grab your ear and rotate it like those old school t.v.s and change the channel. (Something my mom told me and always stuck with me.) Because you chose your reality. If you don’t want to claim this then take deep breaths into it, focusing on everything around you. Noises, smells, sights, your breath. Get out of that space by getting into your body and being present in your current environment. Once you get to the present that should start to vanish and go away. If it is not yours then I suggest you say I do not claim this energy as my own. 

That is what happened to me today. I felt out of nowhere that I couldn’t move forward because of certain things that no longer bothered me. I knew everything was good and what I am creating for myself is going to be a bigger success than I even know. But something kept coming into my head making me feel like someone was talking bad about me. It was bizarre and after about 5 minutes of this constant energy hum of bad juju I said OHH hell no. I reflected it back to whoever was sending it my way with love. Now I know this all may sound strange to you but energy is real. Frequencies are real. And people tend to covet things they don’t possess. It’s the reason someone won’t like someone else because they have something they don’t. 

So next time you have a bad thought out of nowhere question it. Learn to identify what is your energy and what is not. It will save you from spiraling out and going into a dark space. I want to believe that people are inherently good but I know how cruel they can be as well. No one is safe from outside forces you just have to have a deeper understanding of your internal force. Then you can have so much peace even if someone hopes you don’t do well. I hope this helps my friend. 

Today was a 9.
