Becoming Unshakable: A Personal Reflection on Protecting My Energy

By Susan Koshi | Lady Flava Wellness

Tonight, a video popped up in my YouTube feed—unexpected, but perfectly timed.

It was a powerful talk by Master Shi Heng Yi titled, “Unshakable Core: How to Master Your Energy & Mindset When Facing Challenges.”

As soon as I heard the words, I knew:

This message was for me.

Not because I was looking for advice.

Not because I was in a place of weakness.

But because I’m in the midst of transforming.

The truth is, I’ve been walking through some heavy energy lately—at work, in relationships, and within myself.

I’ve found myself silenced in a space I once had influence in.

I’ve watched leadership shift, respect fade, and trust break.

I’ve poured into people who turned around and filed complaints.

I’ve trained new staff with care—only to have my ways dismissed.

And yet, I’ve remained still.

Not numb.

Not weak.

Still.

Because I’m learning something new:

How to protect my peace when the environment around me no longer supports it.

Master Shi Heng Yi spoke of cultivating an unshakable core—a center of stillness and wisdom that cannot be thrown off by external chaos.

And I realized… that’s what I’ve been building.

Without always knowing it, I’ve been:

Choosing non-reaction over retaliation. Disengaging from draining energies. Breathing through discomfort instead of becoming it. Creating boundaries not out of fear—but out of honor.

I am no longer looking to be understood by everyone.

I am no longer trying to belong in spaces that no longer reflect who I am.

I am no longer entertaining anything that compromises my well-being.

This is not avoidance.

This is mastery.

“If you do not learn how to protect your energy, you will spend your life managing the damage from its misuse.”

I’m done managing damage.

Now I am building peace.

Tonight, the Universe whispered through that video:

“You’re on the right path. Don’t let anyone pull you from your center.”

And I heard it.

I received it.

I’m standing in it.

I am becoming unshakable.

And maybe… just maybe…

So are you.
