What I do is to wake up each morning and pray and then put a white light coccoon around me that says no one can take energy out without my permission! and try all the other strategies in the book...can you get him to read it?! If all else fails, find YOUR joy and then stick to it - let no one and nothing steal it away!! Even if you have to sneak off sometimes and do a joy jig! Seriously, if you start making the changes, he will respond in some way. Have you talked to him about the idea - well not that he is an energy sucker but ask him if he is happy and if not, what can you both do about it. If he is a pessimist then let him know he can rewire his brain - i can give you the names of lots of books that will tell him how - learned optimism is a good one by martin seligman. Hanging around pessimistic people starts our brains operating in that way themselves! I hope there is some help in this reply somewhere Jill - i am sending zooties! well that’s tricky one Jill!
