ENERGY DRAINS AND TOLERATIONS
How are things going for you and your dreams so far? Where have you been putting your focus? How have you been utilizing your affirmations?
Now is the perfect time to begin tending your Garden of Dreams in order to have your dreams flourish and prosper. In order to create a healthy Garden, as with any garden, you want to begin by pulling the weeds. So what are the weeds in your Garden? These are the energy drains, tolerations and limiting beliefs you may currently hold.
What IS draining your energy?
What ARE you tolerating?
Ready to let it all go?
If so, let’s begin by actually identifying the weeds in your garden, not with the intent of holding your focus on the things you don’t want, but simply to identify the weeds you can then pull from your garden once and for all!

ENERGY DRAINS AND TOLERATIONS
Remember the five key life categories in which you created your Intention Statements and Goals?
They were:
- Relationships
- Right Livelihood
- Prosperity
- Body/Mind/Spirit
- Environment.
As I go through the list of energy drains, beginning with Relationships, if a statement is true for you, it is an energy drain for you. Write that down in your notebook or journal. This is for your eyes only so please be absolutely honest with yourself. If you’re not sure whether a statement is true for you or not, then write it down.
Relationships
There are relationships in my life that drain my energy.
There are people in my life to whom I give my power.
I have unfinished communications with friends/family.
I have unresolved conflict with someone in my life.
There is someone that I haven’t forgiven. (self included?)
There are relationships I need to end.
There is someone that I am avoiding.
There are relationships in my life that are not 100% truthful, self-responsible and healthy.
I lack quality friendships in my life.
I am so overwhelmed in my life that I neglect my friends/family.
