DAY 29 - Don't Let Whack People Mess Up Your Dope Energy

You ever just be out here living your life, vibing, feeling good about yourself, and then out of nowhere, someone with a funky attitude tries to rain on your parade? It’s like they’ve got a radar for happiness, and they can’t stand to see anyone enjoying their life. They’re the ones who always have something negative to say, who give those backhanded compliments, or who just bring a dark cloud with them wherever they go.

We all know these kinds of people. They’re in our families, our friend groups, sometimes even at work. They’re the ones who’ll nitpick everything you do, who’ll point out your flaws, who’ll make you feel like you’re never enough. And if we’re not careful, they can start to mess with our heads, with our hearts, and with our energy.

But here’s the thing: your energy is precious. It’s the fuel that keeps you going, the light that guides you, and the spark that makes you, YOU. And just because someone else is walking around with whack vibes doesn’t mean you have to let that affect you. No way.

Protecting your energy is an act of self-love. It’s about recognizing that not everyone deserves access to your vibe, and that’s okay. You’re not obligated to entertain every negative person that comes your way. You’re not required to stick around and absorb their bad energy just because they’re in your space. You have the power to choose who gets to be around you, who gets to share your energy, and who gets to be part of your journey.

So how do we do that? How do we keep whack people from messing up our dope energy?

First, it starts with boundaries. I can’t stress this enough. Boundaries are like the invisible fence around your peace. They’re the lines you draw to protect yourself from the nonsense, the negativity, and the drama. It’s about saying, “I’m not available for that kind of energy,” and meaning it. It’s about knowing your worth and refusing to let anyone make you feel less than.

Next, we’ve got to practice the art of letting go. Now, this one is tough because sometimes the people who bring the most whack energy into our lives are the ones we’ve known the longest or the ones we care about the most. But listen, just because you love someone doesn’t mean you have to let them drain you. Sometimes, the most loving thing you can do for yourself—and for them—is to create some distance. You can love people from afar and still protect your peace.

And let’s talk about self-awareness. You’ve got to know yourself, know your triggers, and know when someone’s energy is starting to affect you. Don’t ignore that gut feeling when something—or someone—doesn’t sit right with you. Your intuition is there to guide you, to protect you, and to help you navigate through life’s challenges. Trust it. If someone’s energy feels off, it probably is.

Surround yourself with people who get it, who get you, and who vibe on the same wavelength. Find your tribe, the people who support you, who encourage you, who uplift you. These are the people who’ll help you stay grounded, who’ll remind you of your worth, and who’ll make sure your energy stays dope, even when life gets tough.

And finally, remember this: your energy is your responsibility. You can’t control what other people do, but you can control how you respond. You can choose to rise above the negativity, to keep your light shining, and to stay true to yourself no matter what. Don’t give anyone the power to mess with your energy. They don’t deserve it, and you don’t need that kind of weight in your life.

Here are five affirmations to reinforce that dope energy:

1. "My energy is valuable, and I protect it fiercely."
• This reminds you that your peace and positivity are worth safeguarding from negativity.
2. "I attract people who uplift and inspire me."
• This encourages you to focus on relationships that enhance your energy rather than drain it.
3. "I am not responsible for other people’s negativity."
• This helps you release any guilt or obligation to absorb or fix someone else's bad vibes.
4. "I choose to surround myself with love, light, and positivity."
• This centers your focus on creating a supportive environment for yourself.
5. "My energy is dope, and nothing can dim my light."
• This reinforces your inner strength and resilience against anything that tries to bring you down.

Keep these affirmations close and let them guide you in maintaining that powerful, positive energy!

So the next time someone tries to throw shade your way, or you feel those negative vibes creeping in, take a step back. Breathe. Remind yourself of who you are, and don’t let their whack energy touch your soul. You’re too dope for that. Your energy is too pure, too powerful, and too precious to waste on anything—or anyone—that doesn’t add to your life.

Keep shining. Keep protecting your energy. And most importantly, keep being the dope, incredible person that you are. The world needs your light, and you deserve to live your life in all the joy and peace you’ve created for yourself.
