I think we’ve all made a siphon. Pull water from a tank into the hose (or gas if you’re super red), put the other end lower, and just watch cohesive energy and gravity do their thing in the vacuum. It sucks it right out until it’s empty or is equal to the level of where it’s going.
Some people are the same for us. They tap into our energy supply….we might push a little to them to get things going, make them feel better, but then if we’re not careful while they’re not putting effort back in to replace our spent energy – we get all tapped out. On E.
So how do we fix this? Boundaries and the art of saying no. Honing in on that discernment that tells us when we’re getting low. Identifying if what we’re pouring into is even a legit source of energy for us or if we’re just making endless deposits. Valuing our time and resources and treating them like assets we expect a return on. How are we replacing it?
Because otherwise…we’ll just run on E, feeling depleted. The ideal matches of energy are pairings that are equal but different. Different brains, iron sharpening iron, and different perspectives, all of those things can have the same energy level and make equal deposits.
Weighing our risks vs our rewards and being confident that what we offer will either be replenished by watching it multiply or be renewed.
That’s where the magic happens. So before you get siphoned dry or end up at a less than level of energy you never intended to be at (search: “codependent”)…set some “will not go below“ limits for your own self.
