The Influence of Your Energetic Presence

“The energy you radiate has the power to influence everyone you encounter.” - Michelle Weimer

This week’s topic of energy ties in with last month’s series on influence because of the fact that today I want to talk about how your energetic presence affects and influences those you are around.

If you are upbeat and highly energetic both physically and emotionally, people around you can feel that energy. Likewise, if you are putting out negative energy and emotions, the people around you are going to feel that as well. Take that thought in for a minute and think about the energy you’ve been giving off. How do you think it’s affecting those around you?

Now think about this, if you had the power to control the quality of air your family is breathing, would you fill the room with a toxic gas that could ultimately harm them? Of course not! Instead you’d want to pump it full of pure life-giving air. And yet, if you are giving off negative energy all the time, you are letting that energy seep into others much like a toxic gas that can suffocate their hopes, dreams and joy.

I know you get this because if you’ve ever been around someone who’s super negative, you’ve felt it. It is exhausting to be around those people. But when you are around someone that brings positive energy into the room, they leave you feeling excited, enthused, motivated and joyful. You feel lighter and brighter after having been around those people. So again, I ask you to think about that… what do others feel when they are with you? Notice the energy in the room where you are reading this right now. Is it thick, tense, dense and heavy? Or is it bright, light and joyful? You have the power to shift the energy in the room just by how you show up. So choose it for yourself and your loved ones right now.

And don’t think it can’t be felt across a screen because it can. I am on calls (both video and audio only) all the time. As a matter of fact, for the last 18 years my business has been virtual with most of my meetings with clients happening over the phone, and I can guarantee you that I can feel the energy in their voice. And I can affect their energy across the line. So even if you are only interacting with others via technology, choose it for the people on the other side of that screen too.

If last month you got my message that I was asking you to step up as an influencer and a role model, this month I’m asking you to include bringing back the positive energy into your life. Into your home, and into the world. You can’t keep waiting in some sort of holding pattern for life to get better someday. But you can bring positive energy back into today. Back into the present moment. And back into the dreams for your future.

Here are a few ways you can practice bringing your energetic presence up and influencing others to do the same:

• Create healthy habits to increase your physical and mental energy levels. 
• Release negative emotions. (If you missed last week's post, read how HERE)
• Get your hope for the future back. Allow yourself to dream and believe. Talk about it. Plan for it.
• Be confident in your ability to figure things out. You will get through this.
• Adapt a role model mindset, lead by example and inspire others to up their energetic presence.
• Speak positive words and be an encourager by championing others on.
• Put energy into your tone of voice. It’s not just the words you say but your tone that can carry energy.
• Let your body language speak for you. Your posture, your gestures and even the sparkle in your eye say a lot and can be felt energetically.

I realize the future can feel very uncertain. I also realize that many people currently have a lot of sadness and fear in their lives. Just remember, the energy you bring into the room has the power to either breathe new life into someone or suffocate their hopes, dreams and joy. Instead of being that toxic gas, bring the energy of love, hope and joy to everyone you encounter. And likewise, don’t let anything steal your gratitude and joy for all the blessings you already have or your hope for the future.
