An energy leak happens when you have not taken care of a relationship is sue and now you are avoiding that person. Energy leaks fall into the category of 'Unfinished Business'. Procrastination is a major energy leak. So is denial. The reason many people don't deal, or won't deal, with this unfinished business is fear.
Fear leads to doubt which leads eventually to lack of confidence.
This can become an even bigger problem as you can begin to feel out of control. This creates anxiety and soon the energy leak becomes a flood. Maybe it's time to put a stop to those leaks. Sure, it will take energy, but, energy expended to stop the leaks will prevent drowning in that flood. It will not be useful to build a damn.
