I need help revitalizing my energy..

[Miss RNG]

I've always been a giving person..i help those who need it, emotionally and spiritually. But, it's begun to take it's course on me. Sometimes i find myself lacking any positive energy for myself. I'm not exactly sure what i am asking for..maybe a ritual or spell to aid me in this..somehow. At the moment i am sullen so i apologize for the lack of enthusiasm in this post.

I have cleansed the house recently..maybe i should cleanse myself? I have a lot of demons i need to work through, while helping other's all the time..mine seem to only become more aggressive(not literal demons). My dreams are always dark, somebody is almost always trying to kill me.

Something...anything..i'll accept help in any form.

Thank you kindly,
Many blessings..

Speaking from recent personal experience, I would see a doctor and have a TSH level and BMP checked. I thought I was coming completely unhinged. My potassium level was low. Out of whack thyroid levels and out of balance electrolytes can do some pretty wild things.

Thank you for your response. I know what is wrong with me chemically, i am imbalanced. I was diagnosed bipolar-type 2 years ago and am back on my meds..but this is a spiritual thing.

I am anxious to see the replies on this thread. I'm feeling much the same way that you are. I hope things even out for you.

Hi RNG, I was wondering if you get a chance to go out and be in nature very often?
What I was going to suggest is some long grounding sessions somewhere in nature.
I noticed that our race as a whole, is getting quite disconnected form the Earth, and in my opinion this is causing a lot of discord within our bodies. I my self have been dealing with some bouts of spiritual distress, and a general sense of ..bleh.. who cares?... sort of attitude. I have been spending quite a bit of time by a creek I really like, and doing some other things that require me to spend some prolonged time on the ground...like a picnic or laying on the beach. It seems to help.
... now I'm thinking of a connection ritual...but right now I'm shot, ...I'll be back later

In my opinion this is the root of the problem. You put everyone else first and neglect your own needs. Think of it like this, you're a pitcher of water, pouring out love and positivity to others... but as you do you begin to feel empty tired and run down.

Now I'm not saying become a self absorbed pain in the butt, but I am saying you need to treat yourself better. Take the time to do nice things for yourself. If you usually skip breakfast, treat yourself to breakfast! If you usually don't have time to meditate, make time! You're important too and if you don't take care of yourself, you're not going to have the energy and willpower to take care of the ones you love. (if you're a busy mom this is especially true)

Sending you love & light! <3

I definitely don't spend enough time outside. I live in the valley of california and where i am at..there isn't much privacy(which is what i need) in "nature"..which usually includes parks lol. But where i am FROM is a small town up north in the mountains..oh how i would love to go for a true nature walk..maybe do a grounding ritual and just relax. It seems i may need to find a secret spot around here..

Thank you for the advice!
Many Blessings!

Thank you for the love and light =D i am feeling much better today. Nothing different has been done, i just believe i am looking forward to doing something about this. I cleansed and charged all my stone jewelry yesterday and asked that each one be blessed. I am a single mother of two kids so just THAT sometimes sucks the life force out of me. I try to light my incense and burn my oils when they go to bed..keep my mind quiet after a long day.

Maybe ill have a "chat" (lol) with my pendulum..see what my higher self has to say. Hopefully it wont be stubborn today, as of late there hasn't been much of a connection..i think that may be from all my negative energy. gahh. I AM DETERMINED TO FIX THIS! >=D

Thank you love! There were some good replies. I also had one sent specifically to my email..they suggested wearing a sunstone. Maybe that will help you as well? I need to pick one up..maybe a few lol

Oh yeah..i recently bought a beautiful journal form roguejournals.com. Just a small pocket one for my thoughts..whether dark or positive. If you have the money to spare i suggest getting one. Can't wait till mine arrives! lol off topic i know.

I hope the light is brought into your heart.

Many Blessings,
RNG.

On the magical side, I would definitely advise cleansing yourself. You may also want to take the time to do simple meditations just to slow your life down a bit.

But there is a lot you can do on the physical side of things to really start making those changes in your life. I think you're already realizing that by putting all your energy into other people, you're really putting your own mental and physical health at risk. We can't help anyone better than we can help ourselves, and we can't help others if we are burnt out to begin with. It's important to put your needs first. Even in airplanes you're told to secure your own air supply before helping those around you.

So here's my list (because I'm a helper/healer by nature myself and I fall into the same situation):

Identify what events and situations take the most out of you, or take more out of you than you can safely give. It can be one big thing that pops up once in a great while, or a lot of little things that constantly add up. These are what will guide you toward making boundaries. Use this list to determine what aspects you need to start limiting, or completely remove, from your life.

Set your boundaries, write a physical list and keep it somewhere you can look at (like an office or a fridge surface, NOT in your bedroom or place of relaxation). Then, and this part is really important, stick to those boundaries! Say NO, even if it feels uncomfortable at first (and it probably will, that's normal).

If you hold to those boundaries for a week or two, you'll begin to see the difference. After you get a few weeks of cleaning out the excess stress of your life, you'll be able to start dealing with those stress demons again (and chances are 80% of those issues will evaporate after limiting the stressors in your life).

The next part is to start spending time doing things for yourself. Being creative, spending time doing things you enjoy, creative projects, reading, movies, walks, whatever it is that allows you to get into a deeper, uninterrupted state of relaxation. Bring in the positive, start to notice the things you're grateful for, and build on those. After that, the process will become more and more natural and you'll begin to make more lasting positive changes for yourself that will help you protect yourself from getting to this point again.
