You broke up months ago and yet you're still feeling their energy. Yup, it's a thing.
Hereâs how to KNOW when youâre feeling the narcissistâs energy and not yoursâŚ
That random chest tightness? The sudden anxiety at 2pm?
Itâs not a coincidence â itâs an energetic cord still binding you.
You know that feeling when youâre having a perfectly decent Tuesday, maybe even humming along to your favorite song, and then BAM â sudden dread hits you like youâve just remembered you left your curling iron on?
Except you didnât. And your curling iron is unplugged.
And, well, if youâre still healing from a bad breakup, you likely havenât even styled your hair in three days because #healinglife.
Here's What's Actually Happening
When weâre in relationships with narcissists (or anyone toxic), we become so hyper-attuned to their emotional states (thanks, trauma bonding!) that we literally develop energetic connections.
Think of it like emotional Wi-Fi â except you never asked for the password, and you definitely didnât agree to the terms and conditions.
Signs youâre picking up THEIR energy: - Sudden mood shifts that make zero sense - Feeling anxious/angry/sad with no clear trigger - That âsomethingâs wrongâ feeling when everything in YOUR life is actually fine - Physical symptoms (headaches, nausea, fatigue) that come out of nowhere - Thinking about them intensely when you were doing great moments before.
Plot Twist
Youâre not losing your mind. Youâre just still energetically connected to someone whose emotional regulation is about as stable as a house of cards in a wind tunnel.
The Good News: Just like you can block someone on social media (and oh, how satisfying that notification sound is), you can block energetic connections too.
Important! đ¨
Listen, my psychic senses are telling me: protecting your energy will be really needed in the months and years ahead. âĄ
Why?
Because things both in the US and abroad are going to be getting EVEN MORE CHAOTIC. đ (I know you're thinking, like, of course, but I'm talking BIBLICALLY CHAOTIC).
And besides, learning to block bad energy is SUPER useful in MANY CIRCUMSTANCES (like for that annoying co-worker who won't stop discussing politics every chance he gets)!
WHAT IâM LOVING RIGHT NOW
⢠Go High Level CRM: OMG, what an incredible tool for ANYONE with a business ANYWHERE! I could write an entire newsletter about this. But I won't - because I don't think anyone cares enough. But maybe I will anyway because it's SO awesome?? Or do I need a separate newsletter on all things digital marketing? Ok, rant over, promise.
⢠Building a Story Brand 2.0, by Donald Miller: Ok, so maybe I am a little obsessed with the marketing topic right now, but if you're curious about marketing even a little bit, I highly recommend!
Sending you strength and protection for your week ahead,
