The Social Reckoning opens in theaters today, and it’s a timely reminder of how much of our lives now happens online. It’s also Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which makes this a good week to think about protecting two things at once: your energy and your personal information.
What Is Energy Protection?
Energy protection is the practice of guarding your emotional and spiritual well-being from influences that leave you feeling drained, anxious, or overwhelmed.
Many people think of it in terms of people and places, but screens can affect your energy, too. Endless scrolling, heated comment sections, and constant notifications all take a toll.
Why Your Online Life Affects Your Energy
Everything you take in online leaves an impression, even if you only glance at it. Over time, that constant flow can make it harder to hear your own thoughts and intuition.
Five Ways to Protect Your Energy and Privacy Online
- Curate your feed. Unfollow or mute accounts that leave you feeling worse.
- Set screen-free times. Even an hour without your phone before bed can help you reset.
- Keep personal details private. Avoid sharing your address, phone number, or other contact information with people you’ve only met online.
- Keep readings on Everclear. Connecting with Advisors through the site keeps your information and payments protected.
- Trust your intuition. If a message or request feels off, you don’t need to respond.
A Simple Protection Ritual
Before you open your phone in the morning, take three slow breaths and set an intention, such as “I take in only what serves me today.” It’s a small habit that helps you begin the day grounded rather than reactive.
