I get excited\u00a0and positive.\u00a0 My workouts are better. I work harder (this is how I feel around my chicks in my boot camp class or that I personal train) and leave feeling like I could workout again (k, maybe not all the time :).\u00a0I am doing positive things to reach my goals and I eat healthier foods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I know I am around an &#8220;energy sucker&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I talk in lower voice that is slow.\u00a0 I feel tense or stressed. I leave feeling more drained than when I walk in. I avoid their calls and emails. I am distracted and I am procrastinating on my goals. I binge eat.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I am now 31 and have done a pretty good job of &#8220;cleaning house&#8221; and getting out all of the negative people.\u00a0 I have learned to listen to my gut, watch my body language and if I see any &#8220;energy sucking signs&#8221;, I know this is not a good person for me to be around.<\/p>\n<p>So if you feel in a rut in any area of your life, take a step back and look at all the people in your life. Ask yourself &#8220;How do I feel when I am around this person?&#8221;.\u00a0 You may need to make some changes but I promise, it will be well worth it!<\/p>\n<p>Have a fab day!<\/p>\n<p>Laura xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women in Biz Conference &nbsp; Hey Chicks!
