How Your Emotions Affect Your Energy Field, Your Health and Your Retirement
Scott A. Gese
We are energetic beings. Our bodies broadcast an energy field that can be picked up by others. Positive energy will help to keep you healthy. A negative field can make you sick.
Benjamin Davies/UnsplashRetirement, when it's on your terms is a new adventure filled with exciting possibilities. If you went from school to work, retirement is your first taste of real freedom. It's time to start living your dreams and working your retirement plans.
But there are times when such things as health, financial and other issues don't work out the way you expected. Your mood can shift from having a positive outlook to finding yourself under a black cloud of negativity. Your day might be filled with despair and depression. We all go through those times. Climbing out of that pit of negative energy can be a difficult challenge. But it's a challenge you need to take on.
Your retirement should be a happy and healthy time in your life. So how can you make that happen?
I’m sure you’ve heard the statement, “You are what you eat.” The physical health of your body and your immune system is dependent on what you put into it.
Along those same lines I would say “You are what you think.” Your mental health, (and your world view for that matter) is directly connected to your thoughts. Over time, those moment by moment thoughts have a huge influence on your energy field and the state of your mental health. Keeping yourself physically and mentally fit during your retirement years should be your number one priority.
Your Bodies Energy Field
Each human body is made up of Trillions of cells. Each second of every day it replaces 180,000 of these cells. Yes, every second. They are created and immersed in the current energy field of your body. Be it positive or negative.
They come into being into whatever energy field you are projecting at that time. The simple fact is your cells have no choice. You have control over this field. You decide if these new cells are created into a field of love, hate, fear, stress, worry, anger, gratitude or whatever emotion you may be experiencing at any given moment. What you think or dwell upon is your choice. It's important to give your new cells a positive start.
Can your energy field be influenced by others?
Yes. Indirectly. But only if you allow it. If you are put into a situation that causes you to be emotionally stressed, your new cells take on the energy field of stress. Energy fields overlap with those close to you. If you are around others who are also stressed, your energy fields will synergistically feed off each other. Over time, mental stress will develop into unhealthy physical symptoms. The same is true for any other emotional state of mind.
Positive emotions promote healthy cells. Remember, any situation you find yourself in can affect your state of mind if you let it. Your state of mind effects your energy field, which effects the new cells your body is continuously producing, which effects your mental and physical health which ultimately effects your retirement. The good news is, you get to choose your state of mind. Nobody does that for you.
As an example, let’s take a look at the world situation as it was in 2020.
On a daily basis world media outlets were bombarding humans with bad news. A pandemic, Lock downs, quarantines, unemployment, masks, economic turmoil and rioting along with restrictions on travel, group gatherings, social distancing and the threat of possible death. The situation created a world filled with fear, worry, anxiety and stress.
There were few alternative release mechanisms. Going to a movie or a sporting event in order to relax and take your mind off of your worries was out of the question. Gathering at your local church or synagogue was not allowed. Taking a vacation out of the country was all but impossible.
Unable to completely release these negative emotions, people become overloaded. Their release valve for this pent up energy might be to lash out either verbally or physically. Personal opinions developed into physical clashes.
If you relied on one of those banned activities as a mental outlet, you needed to find an alternative. There were some things you could still do to get some relief. You could go for a country drive. Take a walk in nature. Exercise or meditate. Finding something that relaxed and put you in a more positive, joyful or grateful state of mind was imperative. Your good health depended on it.
What in the world are you becoming?
If love, joy, gratitude, along with most other positive emotions are removed from society and you are constantly fed a mental diet of negative emotions with no way to release them, those 180,000 cells your body produces every second of the day and night are entering into a negative mental state and an increasingly negative energetic field. Being around others with the same negative, fearful, worried or anxious outlook on life only compounds the situation. After a few weeks those new cells born into this toxic environment begin to outnumber the older cells. The longer you stay in this negative emotional state, the harder it is to overcome it.
What can you do about it?
Remember, you are what you think. My first suggestion would be to turn off the main stream media. You may find it important to keep up on current events but main stream media almost always paints current events in a negative light. It only fuels the fire of negative and fearful emotions. If you must stay abreast of current events I would suggest finding an alternative to the MSM.
Meditate or think on positive thoughts for as long as possible throughout each day. If you've never tried meditation, you might find it difficult to begin with. It can be a real challenge to shut off the mind chatter. This will get easier over time. Positive thoughts are much easier to maintain.
Meet in small groups or with another like minded person and share a positive, stress free environment.
Speak out in love for positive change. Volunteer to help someone in need. Be grateful. Staying positive creates positive cells and builds a healthy mind, body and energy field. Be a positive influence to others and do whatever you can to overcome the negative situation you might currently find yourself in.
Each of us has the power to change our energy field. Let the power of your positive light shine out and influence others to do the same.
This is a time in our countries history like no other. Things have changed drastically and quickly. Will things get back to normal? They will hopefully get better but they will not return to the old normal.
If you feel there’s a cloud of negative energy hanging over your head, you can work to overcome it and turn things around. Work on yourself first. You are more than you might realize. Get back to the exciting and positive retirement you planned for. You can do it one second at a time.
To your Successful Retirement.
