Energy is contagious
Do you find yourself surrounded by negative people? Do you always seem to have things go wrong for you? Perhaps you always ask yourself why things go well for everyone else but not you. Maybe you just have bad luck?? Sound familiar?
I hate to break it to you, but the problem is you. To be more specific, it's your thoughts. Let me explain. You see, thoughts are things. More specifically, like all things, thoughts are made up of energy and that energy is transmitted out for others to receive. They are like a beacon or homing signal and they seem to attract into our lives other people with similar thoughts. They also seem to attract situations into our life that will resonate with our existing thoughts, thus reinforcing more negativity in our lives.
Every thought, being energy, resonates at a specific frequency. That means that other energy resonating at that same frequency will be drawn to us by our thoughts. Think negative thoughts and you'll see negative people show up in your live and experience negative events more often. Your energy is magnetic. I'm no quantum physicist, so feel free to go do the research yourself if you want to know the details. Just know that if you change your thoughts, you can change your life.
For some of you, this is old news. I actually hope it is, because that's not the main point of today's article. Here's the twist. Looking at the situation from a different perspective shows that your energy is not only magnetic, but it seems to be contagious. Two sides of the same coin in a way, but it can be a powerful way of applying the power of thought in a practical way.
Perhaps things are in a death spiral in your business. Everyone is in a bad mood and totally unmotivated. One bad thing seems to happen after another, and the team just can't catch a break. Things seem hopeless. The good news is that you can break the cycle. You can be the catalyst for a complete turnaround, and you don't need lots of investment capital or an Ivy League MBA to do it. You just have to think!!
You're probably saying that you think all day long. You're tired of thinking! True, but you're not thinking the right thoughts. Start monitoring WHAT you think and rescripting it in real time. For example, you may find yourself thinking "I'm so sick of problems" all day long. What you're doing is attracting more problems into your life to make sure that your thought is true for you. Those problems often come in the form of other people or bad situations, all resonating at the same frequency of your negative thought.
Try rescripting your thoughts in a positive manner, such as "I love how opportunities come our way all day everyday". If that's too much of stretch at first, then start with something like "I love how problems just seem to solve themselves quickly and effortlessly." Do this consistently all day every day without fail. Share this concept with your teammates too. What will happen is that the collective energy of the team will slowly but surely become much more positive. That will attract more positive people to interact with and positive circumstances to reinforce the teams' new positive thoughts. A positive reinforcement loop. It's magic!
Well, it's not really magic, but it sometimes feels that way. Just like the key to any good magic trick is to practice it tirelessly until it looks real, the key to creating contagious positive energy is also tireless practice. It's not a once and done thing or even just an all-day for one day thing. It's every single day. It'll feel weird and untrue at first, but eventually you'll feel more positive about things and that will rub off on those that work with you. They'll feel more energized as a result!
This isn't a replacement for all the other good things that you need to do like having a vision & strategic plan, tactical plans, proper delegation, having the right people on the bus, etc. Think of this more like the communication lines within your business. If you are negative, then the lines are full of noise, your voice sounds garbled, and your message doesn't get transmitted clearly. However, if you're positive, then the communication lines are crystal clear, the message is transmitted effectively, and the conversation is pleasant. Ever been so frustrated with a bad connection on a phone call that you just hung up?? How effective was that call?
Still skeptical? Why are the great motivational speakers so popular? It's not usually what they are saying, as it's mostly the same content with their own twist on it. Rather, it's their energy. They come into the room or walk on stage with bubbling over positive energy. By the end of the seminar, they have their audience feeling like they can conquer the world. Their energy was contagious and infected ever person in the audience.
That conquer the world feeling dies off after a few days and most people aren't much more successful after the seminar than before. Not because the content wasn't good. It was probably very good content. It's because they aren't connected to that positive energy anymore. Take just about anybody from one of those seminars and let them work side-by-side with the motivational speaker every day for a year and they'd probably transform their lives and their business.
That energy from the motivational speaker works just like fuel for an engine. A full tank of quality fuel lets the engine run at peak efficiency. Put stale gas in the same engine and it barely runs! Let the tank run dry and the engine quits. You need to become a continuous flow of quality fuel for your team!
If you're totally sick of the problems, then do the inner work to change your thoughts. Follow that up with infusing as much positive energy into your team each day as you can muster. Support and encourage them. Ensure that you're all on the same bus heading to the same destination. Some may not want to get on the bus and will choose to leave your team and that's ok. Other's will stay and may transform into rising stars. Over time, you'll see far fewer problems and many more successes.
