Feeling off after seeing someone you care about?

You love them. But after they leave...
You feel heavy. Drained. Foggy.
Your thoughts aren’t clear.
You don’t feel like yourself.

You're likely carrying energy that isn’t yours.

This happens with:

  • A parent who talks at you, not with you

  • An ex who says they’ve moved on but still clings to your field

  • A friend who “just needed to vent” and now you feel like you need therapy

  • A coworker who trauma-dumps in the break room and then walks off light as air

You’re the one left holding it — even if you didn’t agree to.

That’s not weakness. That’s sensitivity.
And that sensitivity is a gift — but only if you learn how to manage it.

How to tell you’re carrying someone else’s energy:

  • You feel emotionally “off” for no clear reason

  • You’re overstimulated, irritable, or bone-tired

  • You can’t stop replaying their words in your head

  • You feel anxious or overly responsible for their mood

  • You feel out of your body or not quite like yourself

So what do you do?

When you’re with them:

• Drop your awareness to your body — especially your belly or feet
• Wear a grounding stone (Black Tourmaline, Hematite, Smoky Quartz)
• Say (silently): “I’m here. I’m safe. Their energy is not mine.”
• If needed, excuse yourself to the bathroom and reset — rinse your hands and take 3 conscious breaths

When they leave:

• Move your body — stretch, shake, or walk
• Say out loud or in your head:
“Anything that’s not mine, I send it back now.”
• Burn something (incense, herbs), take a shower, or play a clearing track
• Place your hand on your heart or solar plexus and whisper:
“Come back to me.”

Start with this tool:

Energetic Boundary Reset – Subliminal
A spiritual soft-block.
Perfect for when you’re not fully done, but you need your space.
No severing. Just sovereignty.

This isn’t about being dramatic. It’s about being responsible.

Energetic hygiene is just as real as brushing your teeth.
If you don’t clear it, you carry it. And then it changes you.
It shows up in how you speak. How you feel. How you trust. How you sleep.

You don’t have to block them.
You don’t have to ghost.
But you do need to come back to yourself.
