Energy Check: Are You Running on Empty?

Passion is a vibration, one that thrives when we’re energetically aligned. But when we’ve been giving too much, saying “yes” out of obligation, or neglecting our spirit, that vibration fades.

If you’ve been feeling:

  • Drained or uninspired by what you used to love

  • Disconnected from your creativity

  • Unsure of your next direction

  • Or stuck in cycles of “should” instead of “want”

Then this is your soul’s gentle nudge to reconnect to what lights you up, not what’s expected of you.

Step 1: Clear the Noise

You can’t hear your passion when your energy field is cluttered.

Take a quiet moment today, no music, no phone, no distractions. Breathe deeply and imagine your mind clearing like a calm sky after a storm.

Ask yourself:

“If I could do anything today that would make my soul feel alive, what would it be?”

Write down the first thing that comes up, even if it feels small or unrealistic. That’s your spark whispering to you.

Step 2: Follow the Energy, Not the Expectation

Sometimes, passion isn’t about finding something new; it’s about returning to something we loved before life got busy.

Maybe it’s painting, being around animals, teaching, gardening, writing, or simply helping others heal. Notice where your energy expands. That’s your intuitive “yes.”

Passion isn’t about productivity; it’s about presence.

Step 3: Reignite Through Action

Energy responds to movement. Once you’ve identified even a hint of passion, feed it a little each day.

  • Spend 10 minutes doing something creative or restorative.

  • Volunteer, journal, or explore a class that excites you.

  • Surround yourself with people who inspire your growth.

The Universe matches effort with momentum; your spark grows stronger every time you choose yourself.

Step 4: Let Passion Evolve

Your calling might not look the same today as it did five years ago, and that’s okay. Passion evolves as you do.Stay open. What fulfills you now is perfectly aligned for this season of your life.

Let your heart lead without overthinking where it’s “supposed” to go.

Affirmation for the Week

“My passion is not lost, it’s transforming. I open my heart to what energizes my spirit and trust the path that unfolds.”

Energy Tools for Reigniting Passion

  • Crystals: Carnelian (motivation), Sunstone (joy), Citrine (creativity)

  • Essential Oils: Sweet Orange, Jasmine, or Peppermint

  • Mini Ritual: Light a candle and write three things that bring you joy. Read them aloud, then say:


    “I choose to live with excitement and purpose.”

 

Final Thoughts

Finding your passion isn’t a destination; it’s a homecoming. It’s about remembering what your soul came here to feel and express.

When you nurture your energy, passion will always find its way back to you.And when it does, let it light everything around you.
