If you’re an empathetic person, it can be difficult for you to avoid taking on the negative energy of others. Whether it’s your family, friends, or even strangers, their emotions and feelings can often become our own if we’re not careful. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to protect ourselves from absorbing other people’s negative energy. Let’s discuss how the full armor of God can help us resist this negativity.
Know Your Triggers
The first step in protecting yourself is recognizing what triggers negative emotions in you. It could be a certain situation or person that rubs you the wrong way and causes your anxiety levels to rise. Knowing what sets off these reactions allows you to develop strategies for shielding yourself from them. One effective way is by using the full armor of God as described in Ephesians 6: 10-18.
Put On The Full Armor of God
The full armor of God is a metaphor for spiritual protection against evil forces and temptation from within and without us. This armor consists of six pieces which include truth (belt of truth), righteousness (breastplate of righteousness), faith (shield of faith), salvation (helmet of salvation), peace (shoes with peace) and prayer (sword of the Spirit). Each piece works together to create a barrier between us and any negativity coming our way. We must arm ourselves with these tools so that we can stand strong against anything that might try to bring us down or disrupt our peace.
Prayer as Protection
Prayer is an essential part of staying connected with our spirituality and source energy. Acknowledge your feelings, ask for guidance, invite your angels into your life, and allow yourself to receive healing through prayer. Prayer gives us strength when we feel weak and helps us refocus our intentions on positive outcomes instead of worrying about all the things outside our control. Pray for protection from negative energy around you so that it does not seep into your consciousness or affect your mental well-being negatively.
Taking on other people's negative energy doesn't have to be inevitable if you know how to protect yourself spiritually. Wearing the full armor of God helps keep away anything that might try to disrupt your spiritual balance or bring negativity into your life. By knowing our triggers and arming ourselves with prayer, faith, truth, righteousness, salvation, and peace, we can confidently protect ourselves from any potential harm caused by absorbing other people's negative energy around us. With faith in God as protection, we can stay grounded in love no matter what comes our way!
