In recent years many of us have an increased awareness of the relationship between humans and our planet. Whether it comes to driving electric or hybrid vehicles, recycling more, buying environmentally-friendly products, or letting our business and political leaders know how we feel, there are lots of things we can do, both big and small, to have a positive impact.
Amidst this increased awareness about the environment over the years, I’ve also thought about the impact of our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions.
What Are Personal And Emotional Emissions?
When we talk about our personal and emotional emissions, we’re talking about the “vibes” we send out into the world around us.
For example, when we’re feeling down, we’re more likely to “emit” those toxic fumes back into our environment. Our negative and unexpressed emotions have the potential to “pollute” our collective consciousness, which impacts our relationships, our families, our work environment, and society at large.
At the same time, the opposite is true. Authentically positive energy has the potential to lift our hopes, raise the spirits of those around us, and make the environment around us a little bit better.
How Can I Have A Positive Impact On My Environment?
Thirty years ago, a much smaller percentage of us thought that how much we drove, what kinds of products we used, or where we put our waste made all that much difference. Now, thankfully, we know better, and we’re able to change how we operate – both personally and collectively.
The same is true when it comes to our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. When we each do our part to be aware, heal, and let go of the toxic stuff within us, we become a catalyst for positive change. Even better, we can help clean up the overall emotional and energetic environment in which we operate.
To be clear, I’m not saying that we have to be happy all the time. We all have ups and downs, which is part of life. What I am suggesting, however, is that we increase our awareness of our internal state, so that we can take responsibility for the impact it has on our lives and the people around us. Doing this can be a catalyst for positive change for us, others, and the environment in our homes, workplaces, and communities.
How do you try to bring a positive impact to your personal environment? Do you have any examples of times when your thoughts and feelings had an impact on the people around you, for good and for bad? If so, let us know in the comments below.

I agree that emotions are very much real and palpable just like the environment. Vibes can affect any environment. So I believe you when you say we should be careful with the vibes we send out into the world as well. Great short article!
