Drip, drip, drip.  The water falls from the bathroom faucet, one drop at a time.   No one is around to use the water which escapes down the drain.  The twenty-five cent washer that can easily be replaced is responsible for hundreds and thousands of gallons of water being needlessly transferred from “pure” water to undrinkable.   The drip continues for months, until the leak becomes more apparent.  Eventually, the leak is noticed and the repair is made.  However, thousands of gallons of water have been needlessly wasted.

Where are the “leaky faucets” in your life?  There are many types of “water” going though those faucets.  The “water” could be money, energy, emotions, thoughts, or the like.   Money could be needlessly “dripping away” in the form of a monthly charge hitting your account for something you may not use – say a gym membership or online subscription.  Things that you purchase but go unused should be evaluated.

Make a conscious decision to either use the gym membership or cancel it.  Take the time to see if the purchase is necessary for the journey to one of your many beacons.  Ask yourself why you joined the gym in the first place, and why you quit using it.  If you only feel guilt associated with the gym membership and it is not the way for you to strengthen your body, then it may be contributing to yet another “leaky faucet.”

When you have the weight of something like an unused, expensive, gym membership “hanging over your head” there is a tendency to expend anxiety over it.  Having anxiety is also a form of “leaky energy” and “leaky thoughts.”

When you think about something periodically throughout the day, such as, “I need to go to the gym”  or, “I need to cancel that membership”  it takes your mind away from the present and the tasks at hand.  It is an “energy leak” and can drain your body of your precious energy.

Anything that is a continual interruption of our thoughts might be evaluated for a potential “energy and thought leak.”  Things may begin as a “money leak” and end up putting pressure, strain, and anxiety on our body.

There may be energy dripping away in other areas as well.  For example, maybe you are in a relationship that is out of balance, and you often “drop everything” to go listen to someone dump their negative energy onto you.  When you meet with a person and feel lower energy than before the meeting, it may be worth evaluating that relationship.  It may be time to set some boundaries.

Good relationships, lighten the energy and provide an uplift of energy to all parties involved.  However, do not get us wrong, we understand that there are often times for talk about some less positive things that may be “heavy.”  These encounters though should be less occurring than positive ones. If not, you may have another “leaky faucet” in your life.

Sometimes identifying the energy and emotional leaks in your life may be difficult.  The “fix” is always something that you, yourself need to do.  You cannot rely on others for the so-called “fix.”  Sometimes you may decide that you are okay with where things are at this moment in time.  That is perfectly okay as well.

The important thing is to understand the concept of energy leaks, and the like, and to make conscious decisions on what, if anything, you are going to do about it.

Like money, each person has an unlimited potential for “energy” to power them through the day.  However, like money, the amount of energy stored in your body for the day can be expended in areas for which you are not aware.  Become aware of the “energy drips” and make small changes so that otherwise “wasted” energy can be available to you in the pursuit of joy and happiness.
