3 Ways to Protect Your Energy From Draining People

Ever walk away from a conversation feeling more drained than when you arrived? You've encountered an energetic black hole.

Three ways to protect your energy:

1️⃣ Notice your body. Your nervous system is a tuning fork. When someone feels off, trust it.
2️⃣ Stop feeding the dynamic. You don't have to defend, escalate, or people-please.
3️⃣ Leave early. "Great seeing you, I need to get on with my day." No explanation needed. Shorter is better.

Your energy is your own. Keep it clean, keep it protected, and give yourself permission to move on.
