Change Your Energy, Change Your Life: How to Take Back Control of Your Reality

Writer's picture: peter gagliardopeter gagliardo


Have you ever felt stuck in the same patterns—the same relationships, the same financial struggles, the same emotional rollercoasters—despite wanting change?


Most people assume life happens to them, that external circumstances dictate their happiness, success, and well-being. But what if it’s the other way around?


What if your energy—your thoughts, emotions, and internal state—is what’s creating your reality?


If you want to break free from old cycles and start seeing real change, you have to change your energy first. This blog will walk you through exactly how to shift your mindset, take control of your emotions, and start creating the life you truly want.


The Truth About Why You Feel Stuck

Most people believe that if they could change their external environment, they would finally feel better.

  • "If I had more money, I’d be happy."

  • "If my partner treated me better, I’d feel more loved."

  • "If my job wasn’t so stressful, I wouldn’t be anxious all the time."


But here’s the problem: Your environment doesn’t create your emotions—your emotions create your environment.


1. Your Energy Dictates Your Reality

Think about this: Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt the vibe—whether it was tense, uplifting, or chaotic?


That’s because energy is contagious. Your thoughts and emotions carry a frequency, and that frequency shapes the situations, people, and experiences you attract.

  • If you constantly feel stressed and anxious, you’ll continue to attract situations that reinforce that stress.

  • If you carry anger and resentment, you’ll find more reasons to feel angry.

  • If you embody gratitude and confidence, life will reflect that back to you.


2. Most People Let Their Environment Control Them

When you say, “This person is making me feel upset,” you’re giving them control over your emotions.

  • Instead of choosing your response, you’re reacting.

  • Instead of mastering your emotions, you’re a slave to them.

  • Instead of creating your life, you’re living on autopilot.


3. The Shift: You Are the Creator, Not the Victim

Nothing changes until you take responsibility for your energy. The moment you stop saying, “Life is happening to me,” and start saying, “I am creating my life,” everything shifts.

  • You stop blaming and start changing.

  • You stop reacting and start responding.

  • You stop waiting and start taking action.


How to Shift Your Energy (and Your Life) Today

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, here’s how to start shifting your energy and creating real change.


Step 1: Become Aware of Your Emotional Patterns

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge. Start noticing:

  • What emotions do you feel most often?

  • What situations trigger those emotions?

  • Are you reacting out of habit or making conscious choices?


Awareness is the first step to transformation.


Step 2: Interrupt Negative Thought Loops

Your thoughts create your emotions, and your emotions create your energy field. If you constantly think, “Nothing ever works out for me,” guess what? That thought becomes your reality.


The next time a negative thought pops up, interrupt it by asking:

  • “Is this really true?”

  • “What’s another way to look at this?”

  • “What thought would actually serve me better?”


Replace “I can’t” with “What if I can?” and see how it shifts your energy.


Step 3: Act Like the Person You Want to Become

Instead of waiting to feel different, start acting as if you’re already there.

  • Want to feel more confident? Start carrying yourself with confidence.

  • Want to be more abundant? Start making decisions from a place of abundance.

  • Want more love in your life? Start embodying love in your daily interactions.


Your actions shape your energy, and your energy shapes your reality.


The Secret to Long-Term Change: Make It a Practice

Changing your energy isn’t a one-time thing—it’s a daily practice. Here’s how to make it stick.


1. Protect Your Energy Like Your Life Depends on It (Because It Does)

Your environment influences you, but you get to decide what you allow in.

  • Limit time with people who drain your energy.

  • Be mindful of what you consume—news, social media, conversations.

  • Surround yourself with people and content that inspire you.


Your energy is your responsibility—guard it fiercely.


2. Shift From Reaction to Intention

Instead of reacting to your environment, start setting the tone for your day.

  • Before you get out of bed, ask: “How do I want to feel today?”

  • Throughout the day, check in: “Am I operating from stress or from intention?”

  • Before bed, reflect: “Did I create my day, or did I let my day control me?”


The more intentional you are, the more power you reclaim.


3. Trust That the External Will Catch Up

At first, it might feel like nothing is changing. But just like going to the gym, the results come with consistency.

  • Keep shifting your thoughts.

  • Keep regulating your emotions.

  • Keep showing up as the person you want to be.


Eventually, your reality will start reflecting your new energy.


Insights from Dr. Peter Gagliardo

Dr. Peter Gagliardo, an expert in mindset transformation, explains:

“Your environment isn’t what’s holding you back—your energy is. The moment you realize that your emotions create your reality, you take back your power. The more you practice, the better you get.”

His advice? Start small. Master one shift at a time, and watch your entire life change.


You Hold the Power—Use It Wisely

Nothing changes until your energy changes.Your emotions shape your reality—not the other way around.You are not a victim—you are a creator.


If you want to start creating a life you actually love, begin by shifting your thoughts, emotions, and energy.


Your best life is waiting—and it starts with you. ✨
