Why You Feel Drained After Spending Time With Certain People

Boundaries Part 1 of 4 You know that feeling when you’ve spent time with someone, and afterwards, you’re exhausted? Not just tired from socializing, but completely drained, like someone pulled the plug on your energy. You might feel irritable, foggy-headed, or emotionally raw. Sometimes you can’t even pinpoint what happened during the interaction, but you know something did. That’s not in your head.

The Missing Piece of Energy

You might have noticed, as I have, that when people give reasons for the things they think about, there seems to be something missing. Their train of logic is missing something important in the middle, but they are so convinced of their position that there is no room for discussion. I see this frequently. Many people say they want to discuss something when they see … Continue reading The Missing Piece of Energy

What You Call Into Your Life

One of the things that keeps coming up for me is having to recognize that my life consists of what I have allowed in it. It’s easier to say that whatever goes wrong in our lives results from some outside source. That doesn’t mean to say that things happen that we don’t expect or can’t anticipate.
