Suppose someone makes a request of you and you don’t really want to do it but could do it. They’ll be disappointed if you don’t do it and will tell you as much, but there won’t be other consequences.
Before you answer, sit with each scenario for just a moment and notice how each feels.
First, notice the energy of “should”.
Next, notice the energy of putting someone else’s feelings before yours.
...
Now, switch gears and notice the energy of being in a place where you make decisions and act from a place of healthy boundaries.
You are full and choose to accommodate the request because you’ve checked in with yourself first.
You’ve concluded that even though the thing itself is something you don’t normally want to do, you are going to do it because you’ve determined that doing it is in alignment with your path.
Alright. Short answer to my original question is this: the energy feels different.
Are you leaking a bunch of should energy these days?
