Dating From the Inside Out

Positive Energy
and Dating
Much has been said and written about
positive vs. negative energy. It’s a pretty well
known fact that positive energy reaps far more rewards
than negative energy. The energy that people exude
can profoundly influence health and mood.
Many successful people have positive energy in common.
Just as in a career – focusing positively and
surrounding yourself with positive situations and individuals
directly fosters success in any situation. Intuition
is an integral part in the process, and the body and
mind attempt to inform of the presence of various types
of energy in surroundings. One may not always be aware
of it, however, since it resides below the surface
of the mind, behind the noise of everyday thought.
Realizing and appreciating positive energy can make
simple experiences that we all take for granted seem
much more profound, instilling wonder in place of what
we may have considered mundane. There is a correspondence
between our inner psychological condition that includes
our habits, desires, attitudes, opinions, and beliefs,
with how the world takes shape around us. Therefore,
it is likely that if we were to emulate a more positive
psychological condition inside, life on the outside
would respond more positively in response.
Intuition Plays a Positive Force
On a spiritual level,
our bodies and psyche can be thought of as a microsystem
of energy. Intuitions can
often be a very positive force, helping direct us to
balance thought processes and emotions. Sometimes a
burst of energy, clarity, or tension lifting can occur.
When the opposite happens, you could feel anxious,
have difficulty breathing or just feel tired. It’s
important to note how situations and people create
these feelings. Using intuition can also help in picking
up people’s vibes. People and situations can
emit a welcoming that invigorates, or an oppressiveness
that repels.
Being aware of how people make you feel can help
keep you on track in finding the types of individuals
that best meet your emotional needs. It is just as
important to note the kinds of energy others give
off, as it is to be aware of your own.
Sometimes, a certain person or situation can create
a response from you that is not the “norm.” In
other words, if you’re relatively shy, but you
find that in a given situation or around certain types
of people, you lose your inhibitions, as long as it
is not destructive behavior (consuming excess alcohol
or drugs) – this may be an avenue to consider
using more in your social quests.
How to Use Positive Energy to Your Advantage
If you are interested in someone and you receive
positive feedback (not just a “politeness” that
sometimes occurs in social situations), be aware
of the precise mechanism that caused it. For example,
if you’re at a venue that is particularly enjoyable,
remember it so that you can return to it at a later
date. If you meet people there that seem to have
a commonality with you, make note of that, as well.
And, if you meet single people there who seem to
be good prospective dating candidates, be aware of
that, too. This way, when you’re at a lull,
have some extra time, plans get cancelled or at a
loss for something to do, you can utilize the venue
or situation to revisit a gratifying experience by
creating a new one.
Another way to use positive energy to your advantage
is to keep track of your successful actions. When
things work well for you, it’s a sign that
positive energy is at work. When something “works,” that
is to say, you get a result that you find worthwhile,
make a note of it so that you can use the same situation.
For instance, if you find that you meet quality people
at a certain or specific venue, be sure to use it
again while you’re at the stage where you are
still exploring getting to know various people. Keep
in mind the resources that provide the best types
of individuals for that purpose.
Haven’t Got Time for the Pain
Conversely, if you find that certain places and people
make you feel unwelcome, defensive, or just bad, it
may be a good idea to avoid those people and situations
as much as possible, especially in terms of developing
social harmony in your life. Negative energy from other
people can be every bit as damaging as your own, and
actually create it in yourself.
Likewise, if a venue doesn’t work well or seems
to attract certain types of people, keep that in mind
and act accordingly. Steering clear of negative energy
as much as you can will only serve to enhance and maintain
balance in your life, while paving the way for new
and enriching relationships to develop.
