About this deal
The good news is that there’s definitely something that can be done. In this article, I’m going to help you not only understand yourself better as an empath but also give you some really great pointers to help you deal with the all too prevalent downsides.
Their response is usually something like “but you’re always tired.” Or they advise me to get more sleep. There’s nothing wrong with finding an escape from our day to day troubles (what else would you call relaxing?) But abusing addictive substances to avoid facing problems, or avoid dealing with emotions in a healthy way, will be destructive. Both in the long term and the short.
If you’re bored in your career, here’s a bunch of great jobs where empaths can use their gifts well. 6) Compassion becomes a burden This one is close to home for me, too. I’m almost always drained. When people ask me how I am, I pretty much always say, “tired.” Grounding is a highly effective therapeutic tool that can be used in all kinds of situations by most anyone to help regulate their feelings. That leaves you tired, worn out, and almost always exhausted. Sleep is hardly a factor for this kind of weariness.
Understanding why someone feels a certain way will also help separate their emotions from yours. 5) Ground yourself When you’re by yourself, you pull out your journal and start singling out each emotion. After you think about and remember each one, you completely let it go. Imagine each emotion flowing down a river, washed away by the rain, or blowing away in a warm breeze. And once it’s gone, it’s really gone. For good. If you talk to the most experienced of empaths, they’ll tell you that a great way to avoid emotional fatigue and contagion is to simply imagine a shield.At that point, it becomes so much easier to manage the constant flow of emotions that bombard your senses day in and day out as an empath.
