We are energy creatures!

We are energy creatures!

What a neat word, energy creatures! We live in a world full of energy and we ourselves are also part of that world.

Earlier today, during a work project, I really felt how this energy clearly can change and how quickly it can happen. For a few days we have been sitting 10 people in a large office and there has been a very positive energy, despite a boring project. We've been working on it and somehow made the boring feel okay. Now, as the project draws to a close, we are suddenly told that we will not be reimbursed for the last day. Because we have worked so well, the tasks will end earlier than expected. When this news reached us in the office, it was as if the air had completely gone out of the room. You could almost feel the energy. Everyone started to work more slowly, the positive spirit just disappeared and no one felt motivated to do a good job anymore. The damage was already done when the employer found out how we, who were working, were taking it all. Despite attempts by the employer to repair the damage, it made no difference to the energy in the room.

There are plenty of examples of how energy can change rapidly. You've probably felt when someone has come along and just gobbled up your energy or when someone else makes you stressed just by being in the same room as you. You've probably also experienced how different environments affect you in different ways. Everything around us is energy and we are really just small, but pretty complex energy beings!

Thought of the day:

How are you affected by and how do you affect the energy around you?
