Your low energy doesn’t just impact you. That’s right, it’s not something you can lock inside your body or brain to affect just you alone. Nope. It’s a whole vibe that spills out—into your team, your family, your friends, and basically everyone who crosses your path.

And when you’re running on empty, when burnout’s eating you alive, or your frequency is low, the people around you feel it. Even if they can’t quite put their finger on why the room feels heavy, or why the mood’s off, or why they’re suddenly tense or off balance.

But science actually shows us why. Our nervous systems sync with those around us — in brainwaves, heart rhythms, and even breathing patterns. (See references below.) That means your vibe literally pulls others into your frequency, for better or worse.

Your energy—whether you like it or not—is a silent broadcast. It can uplift or drain. It can inspire or frustrate. It sets the tone, whether you’re leading a board meeting or just walking into the kitchen at home. That’s why it’s so important to know how to raise your energy if it’s low.

The Low Frequency Leader — How Your Low Energy Affects the Room

Let me tell you about a leader I once worked with. They ran the company from a low-frequency place that always drained the energy of the room. You know the type:

  • Showing up to meetings distracted, scrolling on their phone or zoning out, making people feel invisible

  • Making decisions last-minute or changing course constantly because their brain is fried

  • Snapping at questions or feedback, even when people are just trying to help

  • Struggling to give clear direction, so the team feels lost or second-guesses priorities

I used to think my stress and overwhelm were just my own problem. But here’s the truth I learned the hard way: when you are stuck in a low-frequency state—burnt out, tense, reactive—the people around you are vibrating there, too.

It’s like your low energy has gravity. When you’re dragging, your team, your family, your friends start feeling heavier too.

I remember one particularly brutal week when I was running on empty, snappy and distracted. My own team meetings felt… off. People were quieter, less engaged. The energy in the room was thick. And it hit me — I was acting just like our boss and my team was responding to it.

Your vibe pulls people in. When you’re low, they mirror it. They don’t just pick up your words; they pick up your energy and then transfer it to others.

This is why raising your low energy isn’t just self-care — it’s a ripple effect that can help lift everyone around you.

 

Why Your Energy Matters to Your Team and Loved Ones

We’re wired to connect. Humans pick up on subtle signals—tone of voice, body language, the energy you’re putting out. Your stress isn’t contained in some bubble. It leaks.

 

When your energy is low and you’re tense or depleted, you might notice:

  • People around you getting edgy or short-tempered
  • Your team struggling to focus or stay motivated
  • Family members walking on eggshells or avoiding conflict
  • A general heaviness or low morale in the room

That’s your low energy broadcasting to everyone around you, whether you like it or not.

 

Here’s the Good News: You Can Raise Your Low Energy

Yes, you can change the signal and raise your energy by raising your frequency.

By tuning your frequency—raising your energy—you shift the whole room. Your team feels more grounded. Your family breathes easier. Your friends get a dose of calm and clarity just by being around you.

That’s not magic. It’s biology and energetic resonance. 

When you’re calm and centered, your nervous system sends a regulatory signal to others, helping calm their nervous systems, too. It’s like being the eye of the storm—the anchor that brings steadiness. (See the references linked at the end of this blog for more of the science.)

 

Simple Ways to Boost Your Energy 

  • Check in with yourself first. Are you stressed, tired, irritable? That’s your signal to pause.
  • Breathe deeply before big meetings or family dinners. Your nervous system will relax, and your energy will stabilize.
  • Use sound and frequency meditation — 5 to 15 minutes daily can shift your vibe faster than you think.
  • Move your body — even a short walk outside resets your energy and grounds you.
  • Create space for joy — laugh, sing, dance — your people will catch those good vibes too.
 

RAW Talk: Why Raising Your Energy Is a Game-Changer

If you want your team to feel supported or your family to relax into safety, it starts with how you show up energetically. Leading with presence, clarity, and calm isn’t just nice-to-have; it sets the tone for what’s possible.

Your energy shapes the atmosphere around you. When you tune into your own frequency and take care of your inner state, you create space for others to do the same. 

So, honor your energy. Be mindful of your frequency and the vibe you bring, because it ripples farther than you think.
