5 Levels Of Energy You Can Embody | Which One Is Yours?

In today’s fast-paced world, energy is more than just the fuel that powers our physical body—it’s the driving force behind every action, thought, and emotion we experience. Whether we’re navigating the challenges of our personal lives, engaging in energy work, or simply making decisions in our daily lives, the type of energy we embody can have a profound impact on the quality of our experiences. Just like in the building industry, where the choice of raw materials and construction methods can determine the strength and sustainability of a structure, the energy we harness influences the strength of our nervous system and the depth of our connection to the present moment. In this post, we’ll explore five levels of energy you can embody, examining how each one shapes your reality and asking the all-important question: Which energy do you embody most?

What does it mean to embody an energy?

To embody an energy is to align your entire being—mind, body, and spirit—with a particular vibration that influences your thoughts, actions, and interactions with the world. Think of your physical body as a building design, with your energy field serving as the architectural blueprint that guides the construction process. The total energy you carry isn’t just a static force; it’s shaped by various factors, including your belief systems, stress levels, and even the amount of energy you expend in your daily activities. Just as the energy payback time of a solar cell depends on its efficiency and the energy values embedded in its manufacturing process, the energy you embody determines how efficiently you navigate life’s challenges. When you consciously choose to embody a higher level of energy, you unlock the potential to transform not only your internal environment but also the external world around you, much like how high embodied energy in building materials can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of construction.

The 5 Levels of Energetic Growth

1. Level – Life happens to me

The first and lowest level is one that most your will already have surpassed if you are reading content like this. However, most of you will know at least one person who seems to be stuck at this level.

People who embody this low level energy are full of complains. They complain about their jobs, their boss, politics, taxes, the neigbors, their current or former partners, traffic, the weather, prices, the food in a restaurant, the service in a hotel, the amount of commercials, the bad program in TV or Netflix, that everything is getting worse and things used to better, etc. You get the point.

These people seem to siphon energy off others which makes them so exhausting to be around and prolonged exposure is going to make you grumpy as well.

This lower level energy makes you think that life is happening to you, as if you are the victim and life the perpetrator that loves f#cking you over. You find yourself thinking things like:

Why do all these things always happen to me?
My luck is horrible.
What are you complaining about? Have taken a look at me?

As a result, the people who embody this low energy always seem to attract little daily inconveniences:

They have to wait ages for their food in the restaurant while everyone else get’s theirs first.
Their food order is constantly delivered wrong.
Packages and letters get delivered to the wrong address.

This puts them into a reaffirming cycle of doom and gloom. If they do manage to break the cycle, they find themselves embodying the 2. Level energy.

2. Level – Life sucks but I’m going to fight my way through

After being put through the wringer by life itself, many of us tend to get p#ssed. We’ve had enough of this sh#tshow and finally want to live the great live everybody else seems to be experiencing. So we pull determination around us like a shield and tackle the improvement of our life like the biggest fight we’ve ever experienced.

“If life is against me, then so be it, but I am not going to let that stop me!”

This aggressive and determined energy brings with it a phase full of gritted teeth and hard work. We stop allowing ourself time for pity parties and instead take action, action, action no matter how many times life kicks us back down.

This grind will eventually bring success and a general improvement of our daily life with it. But it is an exhausting existence that can’t be sustained forever. The search for an easier way usually leads to Level 3.

3. Level – I can manifest a better life

The third level of energy is embodied by people who have consumed self improvement content and become more self aware. They realise that there are countless studies showing the effect our thoughts have on our reality and how athletes use visualisation to improve their performance. People with this kind of energy have also become self aware enough to notice their negative thoughts.

To combat this spiral of negativity, they usually attempt the complete opposite: “Positive thoughts only! Don’t you dare think negative!”

After all, if positive thoughts create a positive life, than you should think as positively as possible, right?

At this stage, you start working less and put more effort into your visualisations.

As a result, people who have embodied this energy do see an improvement of their life. They feel more relaxed and optimistic while achieving more. However they fail to hit their goals because they are more focused on their thoughts than their actions. Also, humans are not meant to have only positive thoughts. The negative thoughts are there for a reason. Suppressing them can eventually cause a yoyo effect in the sense, that surprisingly bad moods come out of no where and hit you hard.

These problems get solved as you learn more about personal development and the law of attraction and reach Level 4.

4. Level – Manifestion is about more than positive thoughts

At this level you have advanced knowledge into the law of attraction and know that happy thoughts are not going to create your dream life. What you need to do is embody your next level self in every way. So you ask yourself:

What would my next level self think, feel and act like?
How would I dress?
Where would I do my workouts?
What kind of things would I stop purchasing?

And once you have your answers, you go about your life doing as much of these things as you can at your current stage:

My next level self would have a space dedicated for their work so they can focus properly, so that’s what I am going to do, even if it just means sitting on the other side of my desk
My next level self would take care of themself, so I’m going to allow myself more rest and self care
My next level self would feel luxurious, so I’m going to level up my surroundings bit by bit, a luxurious aesthetic doesn’t have to be expensive

People who embody this 4. Level of energy know that negative thoughts are ok, as long as I work through them. One bad thought is not going to manifest a bad life. But if you notice yourself thinking the same bad thoughts over and over again, then that probably means there is some sort of inner block you need to work on.

Journaling and meditation are your new BFFs for getting rid of limiting beliefs

5. Level – Of course, I’m co-creating my reality with the Universe

And lastly, there is the glorious Level 5 energy that few people reach. If you embody this level of energy you have found some sort of inner peace. You are confident in yourself and your abilities and how to interact with the Universe.

You know that there will always be new challenges and limiting beliefs that pop up but you also know how to deal with them. There is none of this aggressive determination or nervous hope in you anymore. What’s left is a warm surety that your manifestations will come true. The how, when or where really doesn’t matter to you anymore. You know that once it happens it will be beautiful to witness, as always.

You’ve come so far and are so incredibly grateful for both the things you did for yourself and the things others guided by the Universe did for you.

You are still interested in personal development but not out of a desperate want for a better life. Instead, you use it as the tool to help you answer your main question these days: “How can I be more and provide more?”

Understanding the five levels of energy is like performing an energy assessment on your life—identifying the areas where you can make better investments of your time, focus, and emotional resources. As you become more aware of the energy you embody, you’ll start to notice the subtle shifts in your personal life, from reduced stress levels to a deeper connection with the present moment. Just as in architectural design, where a careful selection of building materials leads to a more sustainable structure, choosing the right energy level can lead to a more fulfilling and impactful life. So, take a moment to reflect on the energy you’re embodying today.

Are there any other levels that you have experienced and want to share? Also, which level do you find yourself in currently? I’m somewhere in level 4 and can’t wait for the day I have mastered it enough to reach level 5! Who knows, there might even be levels above that, which I am not yet aware of. Isn’t that an exciting thought?!

7 Ways Your LAZINESS Is Costing You MONEY

Blog, Success

Have you ever considered how much money your laziness might be costing you? It’s easy to overlook the small, everyday habits that slowly drain your finances. From neglecting to switch to a better savings account at a FDIC-insured bank to sticking with a traditional bank that offers a lower interest rate, the cost of laziness can add up quickly.

In a world where digital advertising terms and various affiliate marketing programs entice us to spend more, it’s crucial to be mindful of our financial decisions. This blog post dives into how seemingly minor acts of laziness, like not switching banks or failing to unsubscribe from unwanted services, can lead to significant financial losses.

Whether it’s missing out on a better deal at the grocery store or failing to capitalize on top picks for investments, these habits can have an immediate consequence on your wallet. Let’s explore the not-so-hidden costs of laziness and discover how a little effort can go a long way toward a healthier financial situation.

1. Being too lazy to change your banking account

For most people, deciding on a bank to store their money is a monumental decision that is taken with more caution than getting into a romantic relationship. Yet, as daunting as that task seems, it is very much doable.

Of course, it’s also a hassle to change your bank. It requires tons of paperwork and annoying verifications of identity. But a lot of the time, there is a big financial reward at the end of it. Why keep your money at a bank with high fees and little interest when you can easily find a secure bank with lower fees and higher interest?

You don’t need to move your money around every couple of months. But you should check in and compare offers every couple of years. It’s not guaranteed that there always is a better offer, but wouldn’t you rather make sure instead of losing out on money unintentionally?

2. Being too lazy to unsubscribe immediately

So, you’ve just subscribed to a free trial and are eager to start using the service. But hold your horses! Are you 100% sure you want to pay for this service after the free trial is over? The same question goes for paid subscriptions. Are you sure that you want to continue using this service after the month/year you paid for is over? Because if you are not, it would be safer to unsubscribe immediately after signing up.

Forgetting about a cancellation deadline has happened to all of us at least once. Sure, most of the time, the financial repercussions for one additional month or year of subscription are not the end of the world. But it is still money wasted.

So do your future self a favor and unsubscribe before you dive deep into the free trial.

Although beware: In some rare cases, unsubscribing means you can’t use the service anymore, even though the trial/month isn’t over yet. So read carefully what the website says as you click the unsubscribe button.

3. Checking out prices before a subscription renews

Let’s stay with our favorite money-eating machine: subscriptions.

If you do have a subscription that you’d like to stick to in the long term (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime, NordVPN, etc.), it can still be useful to consider unsubscribing for a day instead of letting the subscription renew automatically.

For one, the prices may have changed without you being aware of it, and you don’t want to be caught by surprise when you look at your bank statement. Secondly, if it’s been a year or longer, then there might be new and cheaper services you could choose as an alternative. And lastly, a hack to keep in mind: If you were unsubscribed and sign yourself up again, you get the chance to use discounts that you would have missed out on during the auto-renewal.

But be careful! Some of those discounts are only for first-time users of the service. So do quick research before going through the unnecessary hassle of unsubscribing.

4. Quick search for discount codes

Many websites have wonderful discount codes that are waiting for you to use them. So why not take a minute or two to do a quick search and see if you can get 10% off or get free shipping? You’d be surprised at how often there is a code you weren’t aware of.

If you want to save time, you can, of course, simply install one of many free code finder apps to do the work for you. For example, right now, the app PayPal Honey is advertising that its users save on average 115 € a year.

That kind of money can go straight into your savings and investment account!

5. Picking up pennies from the ground

Fair warning: If you are anti-Law of Attraction, then this one is probably not for you.

I’m not going to pretend that you can become rich by picking up pennies from the ground. And unless you are dangerously broke, those pennies won’t make a visible difference to you financially. However, what it does is send the message to yourself that you appreciate money no matter how it reaches you.

And as soon as you truly embody that energy, the Universe sends you all kinds of opportunities to gain money. You might start receiving a surprising bonus at work, a higher-than-expected tax return, or a free meal at a restaurant because they messed up your first meal. There are endless weird and unexpected ways in which money can reach us if only we are open and ready to receive it.

6. Planning ahead when getting fuel

Since most of us are still driving economically unfriendly vehicles and the fuel prices are much higher than they were a couple of years ago, this is a great opportunity to save some money.

First of all, you shouldn’t let your tank get so low that you are forced to get fuel at the next available gas station. Because that one is rarely the cheapest option. Next, learn which of the gas stations around your hometown and along your regular routes offer the cheapest fuel. To make things easier, download one of those apps that tell you the prices in real-time.

Do quick research on the cheapest time of day to get fuel in your area. Obviously, you should avoid rush hours since those tend to be most expensive, but even outside of that, there are differences in price. In my area, for example, studies show the gas prices are cheapest between 7 pm and 8 pm as well as 9 pm and 10 pm.

If you can arrange to be at a cheap fuel station during one of the cheaper times without having to drive far away during inconvenient times, then why not do so?

7. Keeping lists for holiday sales

Every year there are big sales on the same dates: Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Fourth of July, Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday, Christmas, New Year’s, etc.

I’m sure you are already using many of these opportunities to buy things at a cheaper price. However, are you strategic about it? How often did you remember something you needed to buy only after such a sale day was over?

A better way of approaching these sales is to keep a list throughout the year, in which you note down all the things you want to buy when they are more affordable. You can use this list also to write down gift ideas. That way, you’ll never be late with gift shopping, and you can get them at a cheaper price.

BONUS: What to do with your savings?

If you follow any or all of these tips, you are going to casually start saving some money throughout your daily life. The default result of this is that you have more money in your regular bank account that you can spend elsewhere.

However, I want to propose a different action step for you. Anytime you save money that you were prepared to spend, put it into your savings or investment account. After all, if you were emotionally prepared to spend that money before you found that 10% discount, it should be no hardship to relocate that exact amount into your savings.

That way, you not only get to celebrate saving money, but you also can feel proud of yourself for doing something for your future. This good feeling will reaffirm your desire to find more clever ways to save money, which will, in turn, help you to see opportunities to do so everywhere.

In the end, a little effort can make a big difference in your financial life. Whether it’s taking a few minutes to unsubscribe from unnecessary services or spending a bit of time comparing better deals, these small changes can lead to a better rate on your savings account or a reduced higher interest rate on your credit card.

Don’t let laziness cost you a lot of money in late fees or missed opportunities for better financial management. By being proactive and mindful, you can turn your financial situation around and enjoy the benefits of making the right investments.

Remember, every bit of extra income or saved money can contribute to a more secure future, whether it goes into a retirement fund or a new laptop computer. So, take that extra time and go the extra mile—you’ll be glad you did.

And always keep in mind: a well-managed financial life is not just about cutting corners, but about making informed choices that align with your long-term goals.

Now, armed with these insights, you’re ready to tackle the challenges of personal finance head-on and make your money work harder for you.

33 WARRIOR QUOTES To Awaken The Fighter Spirit Within You

Blog, Quotes, Success

The path to becoming a warrior is not about physical prowess or mastering combat alone. It’s about embracing the “way of the warrior,” which transcends the physical and delves deep into the realms of inner strength and resilience. This blog post is a collection of warrior quotes from some of the greatest minds, aimed at inspiring you to uncover the true strength that lies within. Whether you’re facing the everyday challenges of life or battling significant obstacles, these quotes will serve as a reminder that every ordinary man has the potential to become a real warrior.

What It Means to Be a Warrior

To be a warrior is to embody resilience and perseverance. It means not letting failure define you, but rather using it as a stepping stone to come back stronger. A true warrior understands that hard times are an inevitable part of life, yet they choose to face these challenges head-on with a warrior mindset. This mindset is the fundamental difference between those who merely survive and those who thrive. Real warriors find strength in the grip of their grief, harnessing the rational part of their mind to navigate the paths of their deeds. They recognize that true strength isn’t just about defeating an opposing force; it’s about conquering the malevolent spirit within, and turning every defeat into a lesson for greater victories.

Embracing the way of the warrior means understanding that suffering and hardships are not the end but part of the journey towards becoming a greater warrior. The real fighters, the peaceful warriors, know that every battle fought, whether it be a rampaging dog pack of daily struggles or the dark forest of major life crises, shapes their destiny. True warriors are those who keep their spirits high, never waste time on trivial matters, and always strive for the greater good. They are the ultimate warriors who lift the human spirit and make the world a better place through their courage and relentless dedication.

How To Transform Yourself From Consumer To Creator (5 Steps)

Blog, Success

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of content that bombards us daily. From endless social media feeds to binge-watching the latest series, we are constantly consuming information. But what if you could transform yourself from a passive consumer into an active creator? Becoming a content creator doesn’t require a sudden burst of inspiration or a massive time investment; it’s about making small, consistent changes and seizing opportunities. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to shift your mindset and habits to become a creator in your own right, no matter your starting point.

From Consumer to Creator: Key Steps

1. Always Keep an Eye Out for Opportunities to Create

In the digital world, opportunities to create are everywhere. The next time you’re scrolling through social media or watching a YouTube video, think about how you can add your own twist to the content you’re consuming. Are you passionate about a particular topic? Start a blog or a YouTube channel and share your insights. The act of creation starts with recognizing that every piece of content you consume can be fuel for your own projects.

2. Use Every Course, Seminar, and Book as Fuel to Create Something

Courses, seminars, and books are valuable resources, not just for learning but for creating as well. Instead of passively absorbing information, use it as a springboard for your own ideas. Did a particular course spark an interest in a new topic? Write a blog post or create a YouTube video summarizing what you learned and your unique perspective on it. This approach not only reinforces your learning but also adds value to your audience.

3. Be Messy Instead of Perfect

One of the biggest barriers to creating is the fear of not being perfect. Remember, tiny creations are better than no creations. Don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect idea; start messy and refine as you go. The process of creation is iterative, and each imperfect piece is a stepping stone to your next level of skill and understanding.

4. Tiny Creations are Better Than No Creations

You don’t need to create a masterpiece every time. Focus on small, manageable projects that you can complete in a short amount of time. These tiny creations, whether they’re blog posts, short videos, or simple social media updates, build up over time and contribute to your overall body of work. At the end of the day, it’s the consistent act of creating that sets you apart from the crowd.

5. It Doesn’t Take Inspiration, It Takes Time Blocking

Many aspiring creators fall into the trap of waiting for inspiration. The truth is, creation takes discipline and time blocking. Set aside dedicated time in your schedule for creative work, just as you would for any other important task. By making creation a regular part of your routine, you’ll find that inspiration often follows action, not the other way around.

Transforming yourself from a consumer to a creator is a journey that starts with small, intentional steps. By keeping an eye out for opportunities, using your learning experiences as fuel, embracing imperfection, and prioritizing regular creation time, you can build your own brand and add real value to the digital world. Remember, at the end of the day, it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being consistent and taking the leap from consumption to creation. Start today, and watch your creative potential unfold.

5 Unpopular Truths About Studying

Blog, Success

Studying is an integral part of academic success, yet it’s often shrouded in popular myths and misconceptions. We all want to believe in that one secret study method that will magically transform our grades or that there’s a shortcut to mastering difficult subjects. However, the reality is far more complex. In this blog post, we’ll uncover some unpopular truths about studying that can help you approach your study sessions with a growth mindset and set you on the path to true academic achievement. From challenging the widely held beliefs about study hacks to understanding the real value of exam strategy, these insights are designed to shift your perspective and improve your educational journey.

1. There is no secret study method that will change everything for you

One of the biggest myths in the world of education is the existence of a magical study method that can change everything overnight. Many students spend a lot of time searching for this elusive technique, only to find that no single method can guarantee success. Scientific research shows that the best way to study is through consistent effort and employing a variety of techniques tailored to your learning style. True study strategies involve a combination of note-taking, retrieval practice, and regular review sessions. Remember, hard work and dedication are irreplaceable components of academic success.

2. Studying needs to feel challenging

A common misconception is that if studying feels hard, you’re doing it wrong. On the contrary, the feeling of challenge is a good sign that your brain is working hard to process new information. This level of confusion is part of the learning process, pushing you out of your comfort zone and promoting deeper understanding. Embrace the struggle as it indicates growth and the development of new cognitive abilities.

3. You will always forget information

Another unpopular truth is that forgetting is a natural part of learning. No matter how diligently you study, you will forget some of the material. The key is to use techniques like spaced repetition and retrieval practice to reinforce your memory over time. These methods help move information from short-term memory to long-term retention. Accepting that forgetting is inevitable allows you to plan your study sessions more effectively, focusing on review and repetition.

4. Exam strategy is more important than overarching comprehension

While a deep understanding of the subject matter is important, your exam strategy can often play a more crucial role in achieving good grades. Knowing how to approach different types of questions, managing your time effectively during exams, and understanding the format of the test can make a significant difference. High school students and college students alike benefit from developing strong test-taking strategies alongside their broader comprehension of the material.

5. 95% of study hacks content don’t teach you anything new or useful

The internet is flooded with study hacks promising quick fixes and miraculous results. However, most of this content doesn’t offer anything new or particularly useful. It’s important to be discerning and focus on tried-and-true study techniques backed by scientific research. Methods like active recall, spaced repetition, and deliberate practice are more effective than the latest trendy hacks circulating on social media.

Studying effectively is less about finding shortcuts and more about adopting a growth mindset and understanding that learning is a continuous, often challenging process. By debunking these popular myths and embracing the realities of studying, you can approach your academic work with a more realistic and productive attitude. Remember, there are no quick fixes, but with hard work, the right strategies, and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone, you can achieve great things in your educational journey. The next time you sit down to study, keep these truths in mind and watch how your approach—and your results—improve over time.
