Energy hunters
In this post, we will talk about energy hunters, also known as energy vampires.
These individuals have a unique ability to drain our positive energy, leaving us feeling emotionally exhausted and depleted.
Today, we’ll understand them, and their behaviours, and will be sharing powerful strategies to protect your precious energy with you.
Unravelling Energy Hunters
Let’s begin by unravelling the essence of energy hunters.
They’re not mythical creatures or beings of the night, but rather individuals whose behaviours have a profound impact on those around them.
These behaviours, often subtle yet insidious, can leave us feeling drained and disheartened.
How energy is transferred?
Energy can transfer between two human beings via
- Eye contact,
- Listening,
- Speaking,
- Handshake,
- Side hug,
- Full hug,
- Sexually
What are some of the typical behaviours of energy hunters?
Constant Complaining
Energy hunters are chronic complainers.
They have a negative outlook on life and tend to focus on what’s wrong rather than what’s right.
Whether it’s their job, relationships, or the state of the world, they always seem to find something to gripe about.(complaining annoyingly)
Criticism and Negativity
They’re quick to criticize and find fault in others.
Their negative comments and attitudes can create a toxic atmosphere, making it challenging for others to maintain a positive mindset.
Emotional Needy
Energy hunters crave attention, validation, and support from others.
They may constantly seek reassurance or monopolize conversations with their problems.
Drama and Gossip
They thrive on drama and gossip, often stirring up conflict or spreading rumours to create excitement or grab attention.
Engaging in gossip can be emotionally draining for those around them.
Pessimism and Hopelessness
Energy hunters have a pessimistic view of the world.
They always seem to see the negative side of every situation and may be quick to dismiss ideas or opportunities.
Common tactics used by energy hunters
To suck your energy they need to start a conversation with you or they at least need to grab your attention.
So they might give some remark about you that is not true so you defend it by saying something and thus get into conversation with them.
Or they might pretend that they have the same interests as you and try to engage you in a conversation, although in reality, they are least interested in what you are doing.
In reality, they are only interested in your energy.
Strategies
Now that we’ve identified the behaviours of energy hunters, let’s explore some empowering strategies to deal with them and safeguard our precious energy.
Set Boundaries
Establish clear boundaries with energy hunters and communicate them assertively.
Let them know what behaviours are unacceptable and be firm in enforcing these boundaries.
Limit Exposure
While it may not always be possible to avoid energy hunters completely, try to minimize your exposure to them whenever possible.
Choose to spend time with them in small doses and create distance when you sense that their negativity is becoming overwhelming.
Practice Self-Care
Prioritize self-care activities that replenish your energy and promote emotional well-being.
Engage in activities such as meditation, yoga, exercise, or spending time in nature to recharge your batteries and cultivate inner peace.
Stay Grounded
Develop self-awareness and mindfulness to stay grounded in your sense of self-worth and positivity.
When interacting with energy hunters, remind yourself that their negativity is not a reflection of your value as a person.
Surround Yourself with Positivity
Build a strong support network of positive, uplifting individuals who nourish your soul and inspire you to be your best self.
Practice Empathy
While it’s important to protect yourself from energy hunters, try to approach them with empathy and understanding.
Recognize that their negative behaviour may be a manifestation of their inner struggles and insecurities.
Awareness and Diplomacy
If you are doing some inner work like what we teach which involves higher meditation techniques and life coaching techniques, and you get into such a draining conversation with an energy hunter, then as soon as your awareness kicks in that your energy is being drained, you can get out of the conversation by saying “you are right” to other person.
This is said diplomacy i.e. to say something appropriate in a situation and move out gracefully.
Summary
By implementing these strategies, you can reclaim your energy and maintain a positive outlook, even in the presence of energy hunters.
Remember, your energy is precious, and it’s essential to prioritize self-care and surround yourself with positivity to thrive in all aspects of your life.
Always remember, you have the power to protect your energy and live your best life.
Until next time, stay vibrant and keep shining your light. Bye for now!
