Emotional Waste:
When you clean up your home, you organize, sort, and throw things away. When you’re making dinner, the scraps go into the garbage. When you’ve accumulated too many papers and files in your office, you start to get rid of them. And what about feelings and emotions? Is there a “trash can” for them?
Emotional garbage builds up if we don’t know how to get rid of it as time goes by. Until one day, you won’t have any room for anything else. The problem is that you won’t be able to fit in any positive feelings, because you’re up to the brim with negative ones.8 Ways You’re Wasting Your Emotional Energy
There are many obvious things that cause fatigue such as stress, a lousy diet, or a hormone imbalance, but there are also many subtle factors that can cause a deeper type of depletion: emotional fatigue.
If you’re feeling exhausted, here are a few things to consider that might be contributing to that feeling:
1. You’re non-confrontational.
2. You’re ignoring that little voice inside you.
3. You ruminate instead of taking action.
4. You stay in relationships and friendships out of fear of being alone.
5. You haven’t resolved old pain.
6. You aren’t clear on how you feel or what you need.
7. You have not set good boundaries.
8. You are driven by “shoulds.”
Do not waste your spiritual energy:
By doing spiritual practice one gets spiritual energy. If we use this energy, for example in the form of prayer to get worldly benefits then the spiritual energy gets depleted. The reason for this is that we draw upon our spiritual energy to orchestrate something for our worldly gains. Therefore instead our spiritual energy being utilised to enhance our spiritual growth we could even regress spiritually. There is no end to worldly difficulties and most of them are due to our destiny. With spiritual growth one derives increasing ability to face destiny and ultimately overcome it.
