Why GIVE?

How to Protect Your Energy: The Why GIVE Method for Staying Centered

Ever have someone's negative energy knock you completely off your vibe? You're not alone. When external chaos tries to pull you down, you need a fast way to recenter — and that's exactly what the Why GIVE framework does. This 5-step acronym helps you reconnect with God, realign with your purpose, and execute from a place of LOVE instead of reaction.

✨ Key Takeaways

1. The Why GIVE framework protects your energy — When someone's negativity tries to take you down, this 5-step acronym brings you back to center in minutes.

2. Why = Your Purpose — What's your "why"? For me, it's LOVE. Reconnecting with your purpose grounds you instantly.

3. G = God (or Source, Spirit, Universe) — God is the center. When you turn it over to God, the load lightens.

4. I = Identity — Remember who you are: "I am the Vibe Goddess. I am a child of God." Your identity anchors you.

5. V = Vibe — What's your vibe right now? Jump back into your focus with music, movement, or whatever shifts your energy.

6. E = Execute — Nervous system regulation is great, but if you don't take action after recalibrating, what's the point? Go DO something.

7. Spiritual growth is daily maintenance, not "set it and forget it" — Just like brushing your teeth, you've got to practice energy protection every single day.

Why Energy Protection Is Non-Negotiable

Let me tell you what happened to me this morning. I got a prickly text from someone — in the past this would have realllly bothered me. And I thought, "Nope. I'm not absorbing this person's negative vibe. They're having their moment, and it's not mine to carry."

But here's the thing: if you're a busy, creative, multi-passionate human (hello, happy octopus energy!), external chaos can take you DOWN if you're not intentional about protecting your field.

God is the center of my life. When I keep God at the center — in my health, my wealth, my relationships, my work — life flows and grows.

When I forget?

When I get lazy or arrogant?

It doesn't work so well for me. I've learned the hard way, and I'm sharing these tools so you don't have to.

The Why GIVE Framework: 5 Steps to Recenter Fast

Why = Why (Your Purpose)

What's your purpose in life?

For me, it's LOVE. When I reconnect with that truth, everything else falls into place. Your "why" is your anchor. When someone else's chaos tries to pull you off course, ask yourself: "Why am I here?"

G = GOD (or Source, Spirit, Universe, Creator, LOVE)

God is my number one helper. When I turn it over to God, the load lightens. Use whatever name resonates with you — God, Source, Spirit, Universe — but connect with that higher power.

This is the secret: You don't have to carry the weight alone. Let God take it.

I = IDENTITY (Who You Really Are)

Remind yourself of your identity.

"I am the Vibe Goddess."

"I am a child of God."

Your identity is NOT that person's prickly text. It's NOT the chaos around you. It's NOT the fear or frustration trying to creep in. You are LOVE. You are a child of the Divine. Anchor into that truth.

V = VIBE (Your Energy State)

What's your vibe right now? If it's off, shift it intentionally.

For me, I played some Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" and got into a "let's go" vibe. Maybe for you it's sacred meditation music, a walk outside, a dance party in your kitchen, or calling your best friend.

Don't wait for the vibe to find you. GO CREATE IT.

E = EXECUTE (Take Action)

Here's where most people stop. They do the meditation, the journaling, the nervous system regulation… and then they sit there, still stuck.

Recalibration without execution is just spiritual procrastination.

After you've centered yourself, GO DO SOMETHING. Take the next step. Make the call. Send the email. Move your body. Whatever it is, EXECUTE.

Why Spiritual Growth Is Like Brushing Your Teeth

A lot of people think personal growth is "set it and forget it." Like, "I did the workshop. I read the book. I went to the mastermind. I'm good now, right?"

Wrongo Dongo.

How many times do you brush your teeth?

Every. Single. Day. That's how spiritual growth works too. You've got to practice these tools daily - all day - evenry day - not because you're broken or doing it wrong, it's because life keeps throwing curveballs no matter how "Zen" you think you are.

I've adopted that philosophy, and it's changed everything.

On the Road Again

And here's the other helpful tip that has change my life: stop living in the rearview mirror.

Yes, acknowledge the pain and trauma. Yes, honor what happened. But don't camp out there. Acknowledge it, give it to God, and move forward into the vibe of NOW — the vibe of LOVE.

How can you expect to move forward on the adventure of life if you are focused on the rearview mirror? Let that shite go!

Take the Lesson and Blessing from it and move on.

I really wish I would have known this decades ago- what a different life I would have lead and what a different Mom I would have been for my precious babies.

🙋‍♀️ Common Questions About Energy Protection

Q: What if I forget to use the Why GIVE framework in the moment?

That's totally normal. Energy protection is a practice, not perfection. The more you use it, the more automatic it becomes. Start by writing "Why GIVE" on a sticky note and putting it somewhere you'll see it daily — your bathroom mirror, your car dashboard, your computer screen.

Q: Can I use a different word for "God" if that doesn't resonate with me?

Absolutely. Use Source, Spirit, Universe, Higher Power, Divine, LOVE — whatever connects you to something bigger than yourself. The key is turning it over to that higher power instead of trying to carry it all alone.

Q: What if the negative energy is coming from someone I live with or work with?

This is where boundaries come in. You can't control their energy, but you can control what you allow into YOUR field. Use the Why GIVE framework to recenter, and then set a loving boundary. That might look like stepping away, changing the subject, or simply saying, "I'm not available for this energy right now."

Q: How do I know what my "vibe shifter" is?

Experiment! For me, it's music (Grateful Dead, sacred, or upbeat playlists). For you, it might be movement, nature, breathwork, prayer, or calling a friend. Build your toolkit by trying different things and noticing what actually shifts your energy in the moment.

Hey, aloha, love tribe, happy techie trust it Tuesday. So do you ever have times when people around you just kind of get into your business and kind of can have an ability to take you down if you don't practice certain ways of kind of pushing their energy out and re-centering into your own? So God is the center of my life, love, God, spirit, universe. So I involve all my practices, all my health, wealth, everything around God and when I do life is great and when I forget and I get lazy or arrogant or whatever it doesn't work so well for me and so I've had to learn the hard way and that's why I'm sharing with you guys all the little tricks that I do so that you don't have to learn the hard way from you know all the pain and I guess pain teaches us stuff right so sometimes we have to have some pain anyway so you know I had a call this morning. It wasn't even a call. It was some text with somebody and it was just kind of prickly. And I'm like, I don't want to absorb this person's vibe. They're having their vibes and it's not mine. So what do I do? So I thought about what is the most important thing for me to like poof it away, right? And so I came up with this little acronym called why give. And so again, what's my purpose in life? My purpose is love. So that's my why. The G is God. So use your own G. If it's universe spirit, use it.

I is identity. I am the vibe goddess. I am a child of God, right? And the V of course is vibe. What's my vibe? I needed to jump back into my focus. And so I played some Grateful Dead and it got me into a vibe of, okay, let's go. And then the E is execute. So it's one thing to get like all into your nervous system regulation, but if you're not gonna go do something after you've kind of recalibrated to me, like, It's not what's the point. I mean, the point is to be calm and peaceful. But for me, I'm a very busy person and I'm working on a lot of projects all at once, like a little happy octopus. And if I allow external stuff to like pull at me too much, it can take me down, you know? So I have to be very sensitive to my, you know, who and what I let into my field. So it's a work in progress and I love practicing and that's, I think, what life is all about.

Experimenting and practicing and seeing what works for you. And hopefully, you know, you have your own toolkit that you keep experimenting with. A lot of times people have this, you know, notion about personal growth and spiritual growth is that you, you you set it and forget it, right? Like, I did the workshop and I read the book and I did the thing and I did the mastermind. And it's like, okay, how many times did you brush your teeth? Like every day, you got to do it all the time. So, I've adopted that philosophy and it's helped me a lot. And what also helps me is not living in the rear view mirror, you know? And I think it's super important and I'm gonna be doing a whole episode on trauma and really like, what does it take to transcend trauma? Because I don't know if you can ever actually heal it. I don't know. I know that for me, I've gone through a lot of things and I'm sure you have too. And just even being born is traumatic. So if you're a human being, you've had trauma, period. There's no escaping that because that's a traumatic experience going from your mama's warm belly to this crazy cold world. And so that's just you're starting off the whole game here of life with some trauma. So anyway, and I'm not minimizing it. It's just trust me, I've been through it. And you guys will hear all my stories at some point if you choose to tune in. But it's like, what can you do to not be living in the rear view mirror? And I know for me, when I go too many times in the story, it just brings me down. And I'm like, no, I need to be in the vibe of now, in the vibe of love, and acknowledge the pain and move forward, or acknowledge the prickly conversation that I just had and move forward. So my help, my number one helper is God. And so when I turn it over to God, it lightens my load. So.

I don't know if that will help you. Hopefully it does. And if you want to share this with somebody, so it's why give, right? So it's like, why, what's your purpose? G is God, I is your identity, V is what's your vibe, and E is go execute. So right now I'm going to jump on a call with somebody about vibe coding. Oh my gosh, it's so much harder than I've realized because the project that I've been building is very complex. So hopefully I'll be able to build it. If not, I've got a backup that I'm already building.

We'll see. It's pretty cool. So I'll keep you guys posted. God bless you. And Angel says hi. Tell me what your why give is. Let me know in the comments. Okay. Aloha.
