Protecting Your Energy. Are you an empath?

Are you an Empath?
“An empath is someone who feels more empathy than the average person. These people are usually more accurate in recognizing emotions by looking at another person’s face. They are also more likely to recognize emotions earlier than other people and rate those emotions as being more intense.”
Tired of taking on everyone else’s feelings?
Sometimes us Empaths can feel like we are on a roller coaster with emotions and feelings from everyone around us. It could be from simply walking in a room of strangers and taking on the vibe whether it be positive or negative, to feeling the emotions of a loved one going through a major struggle.
If we aren’t aware of it we can get lost in unnecessary highs and lows. Everyone is on their own journey and their lessons are for them. I used to catch myself suffering with someone when it was their experience not mine. It can be so overwhelming and exhausting to take on so much.
Of course, we can support and feel for our loved ones during hard times but what they need more than anything is a friend to lean on and comfort them.
They can’t worry about supporting you during their trauma.
We all have our own obstacles to face and grow from. We will all come out stronger and wiser for doing the work.
Here are three modalities that can help you take your own power back when you feel drained:
1️⃣ Change your mindset. Remember what your role is in the situation and come from that place.
2️⃣ Protect your energy through visualization, journaling and smudging yourself! It works!
3️⃣ Set boundaries with your loved ones and be clear about how you can show up for them. Honesty is always the best form of communication.
