2026: Protect your energy

As the year 2025 inches to a close, I want to share some things with you that if you can implement, will shorten the distance between your dream and its fulfillment in 2026.

Everything in life, be it money, people (including you) or even inanimate objects, is a field of energy and exudes vibrations at varying frequencies. This is science, not metaphysics or some esoteric phenomenon.

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change form. Energy attracts or repels. Another way to express the word, ‘emotion’ is energy in motion.

So, your thoughts matter. In 2026, resolve to shun negative energy. When the scriptures caution you to protect your heart with all diligence, it gives a reason for it. As we say in Nigerianese, “e get why”. Your heart is the seat of your emotions. It is also the wellspring and compass for the direction and eventual outcomes of your life. What you feed into it will determine the vibrations you send out and what your life ultimately attracts. Because vibrations are forms of motion, they gravitate in certain direction towards similar fields of energy where the vibrations have some similarity. The aura created by your energy also creates a form of force field that is capable of influencing people around you, for good or evil.

The good thing about it is, you can control what vibrations you send out in order to control what you also attract. Whatever you are looking for is also looking for you. The expression “aura for aura” is not just street lingo.

Have you ever intensely looked at someone whose back is turned to you, and without calling their name, they involuntarily turned and looked in your direction? That is an example of how focused energy works. For a very long time, I thought that the tuning fork was only used for tuning musical instruments, until I found out that research has actually unearthed its value as an instrument of healing. When you apply mechanical energy by striking the fork, it is converted to mechanical vibrational energy or sound waves that travel through the air at a frequency that resonates with your body energy to promote relaxation, pain relief, mental clarity, and even cell stimulation. This happens because the fork’s vibration makes your cells and tissues vibrate at the same frequency, thus transferring the energy from the fork to your body. The frequency at which the vibration takes place determines how the cells and tissues respond and what the energy accomplishes in the body. This flow reduces tension and promotes balance or what is known as Qi in the body. When the fork is placed on the joints, muscles or the temple at a certain frequency, the energy is transferred directly to achieve the necessary therapeutic effect. Moving it through the air is said to enhance body movement and clear stagnant air. This therapy has been applied for a long time in oriental healing practices and is said to have significant effect on the human body at the cellular level by stimulating blood circulation and cellular repair, the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress, and bone healing by stimulating bone regeneration. I have said all that to explain to you how energy frequencies around you can affect your life and your health.

In 2026, make up your mind to shun negative energy. How?

Avoid toxic people who see NOTHING good in their environment. Bad news is the only aphrodisiac that facilitates their orgasms. Like an agitated anaconda looking for the next person to bite, they are constantly looking for the next scandal and the next trending gossip. You will never see them share educational, empowering material. Take good note of their lives. They are nauseating nabobs of negativity. Even when good is placed before them, their energy never flows towards it, talk less of seeing it. Social media is perhaps the only place where they matter. Why? Because they attract other people with similar negative energy.

Shun discouraging environments and conversations. No matter what you are experiencing, never congregate with people who only speak the language of your frustration. Exit a toxic environment so you don’t exude a corrosive ambiance. Unfollow energy vampires who want to reduce your life to another post “Like”, “Follow”, “Share” or “Subscribe”. Prioritize your conversations. You don’t have to invest energy in meaningless, disempowering conversations that drain you of energy.

Be careful what you hear or watch. Hear this great advice from Jesus. He enjoined us to be careful WHAT we hear and HOW we hear. Protect your ears and your eyes, two prominent gateways into your life. Run from negative posts that only project bad news. No matter how popular they may be, don’t jump on the band wagon to make them go viral by sharing them. Stop supplying the bricks to build castles of gloom in your life.

Be alert to the cry of the environment. Listen to it and see the opportunities inherent in the cry. Problems and solutions are Siamese twins. Adversity and opportunity are inseparable siblings. The same river that drowned some is where others learnt to swim. Here’s what the statistics show. Less than 20% of the human population control the wealth of the entire world. Why? They are the ones who solve the problems that the remaining more than 80% also see but only analyze and complain about.

You don’t have any existential problem. You have a perspective problem. Change your perspective to any problem and you will change your outcomes in that experience. It is aura for aura! Where everyone sees problems, see reward systems. Genius is not required in identifying and analyzing problems. Even an imbecile can do that well enough.

Look for people who speak the language of your destination (if you have one) and INTENTIONALLY cultivate their company. The energy they exude will also infect you. They see manure where others only see dung. They see real estate and plantations where others only see a jungle.

Stop feeling or talking entitled. Nobody owes you anything. The world only rewards your fruit, not your resentment. Service is the rent you pay for the space you occupy in creation. Identify a problem you can solve for others. Create a value proposition around it. Power it with a sense of advocacy that positions you as a solution to, not a part of the problem. Credible effort attracts meaningful help, but perpetual entitlement expressed in unending complaints and begging only fixate you in inertia while obscuring or obliterating your possibility instinct. Unchecked, you start believing that nothing works or can work around you, even when so much is happening. Over time, you stop believing even in yourself or God. That is the birthplace of nihilism. Locked in that state, you are toast, no matter how long you pray and fast for!

Free yourself from the prevailing discouraging narratives. Nigeria or anywhere you are, is good or bad because the people make the land so, not the other way round. The Bible as well as the story of Singapore have taught me that prosperity or poverty resides in a people, not in their land.

I hope you learnt something helpful. I wish you a happy and prosperous 2026!

Remember, the sky is not your limit, God is!
