A day in the life of an empath
I feel like I want to write about being an empath, in particular a day in the life of an empath. Sometimes when I need some inspiration about what I want to write about I have a few tools that I can tap into to find out where my emotions are. Today my emotions are feeling disappointment and feeling like a victim. It didn’t really resonate with me. When this happens I muscle test to see if this is mine or if it is someone else's and today it was someone else's.
As empaths and if you are one you would resonate with this deeply is that you can absorb other people’s emotions and they feel like your own. It’s why it is so important to do our own work on the daily and to check in with where we are at.
In no way is it our responsibility to take this on. By us absorbing it and taking it on just means that now two people are feeling the same low vibe emotions that are dragging us both down. Holding onto these emotions are only going to help the other person if we acknowledge the feeling, understand it and use that knowledge to show empathy to the person that is feeling that way. It can make them feel heard, loved and seen through their hard emotions.
If you are not aware that this is going on it can be quite overwhelming. Especially if you can’t find a reason for feeling the way that you do. I can assure you though, that the second you acknowledge it and bring awareness, your emotions will shift! By me acknowledging that the disappointment and victimhood wasn’t mine it has cleared out of my system and my emotions have moved up on the scale and are now sitting at Positive Expectation and Positive Belief.
In every given moment we get to choose how we feel. For the person that is feeling disappointment I would encourage them to feel the feeling, journal about the feeling and what is making them feel disappointed and get them to think about what they could do to shift them out of that emotion in that moment and go and do it. If they are feeling like a victim I would encourage them to do the same thing again, journal what is contributing to them feeling like a victim, what beliefs are showing up for them, what new beliefs they want to embody and then think about some actions they can take to feel more empowered.
This is one of the key areas that I work with people in spiritual coaching. It can be simple to shift your emotions and beliefs if you are willing to feel the feelings and make some changes and take action to embody how you want to feel.
The more and more that you do healing work on yourself whether it’s for your mind, body or soul you will become more sensitive to the energies around you. It’s so cool to think about the healing that you do for yourself, it is also helping those around you to heal as well as your ancestral lines above and below. That is pretty powerful.
I love helping women and children understand their empathic superpowers, teaching them how to understand and master their emotions and showing you awesome ways to use your energy to support you and others.
