Tired as a mother

I didn’t have a chance to write a new post yesterday. Mostly because I have had an exhausting week. Sometimes, we just need a little rest. An empathic person tends to tire easily. I believe this struggle becomes even more real depending on what is going on in our daily lives. Let’s discuss as an empath, how to take care not to overexert your body, mind and spirit.

• When you start feeling overwhelmed, take a deep breath, mediate or drink some tea. Basically take a step back for a few minutes.
• Try not to take everyone’s problems as your own. If someone asks for help, prepare yourself and plan your time. This way you come in wearing armor so that you are more clear headed  and can help the person how they should be helped. Sometimes you need to differentiate between feelings of the other person and your own so that you are telling them not, what they want to hear but, what they should hear.
• Remember it is OK to say no to someone. If you don’t really feel like you can help someone, say no. If you don’t really like someone, say no. You don’t have to help everyone.
• This applies to work as well. Take on only tasks that you can handle. You don’t want to be overwhelmed by taking on too much work. It is easy for an Empath to try to please others constantly.
• Attempt to have a career that is not around a lot of people. This way you are not taking on other people’s feelings constantly.
• Practice yoga and meditation on a regular basis. This will help center your body and can aid you in ruling your own emotions.
• Have positive mantras. Make sure to remind yourself how strong you are.
• Know your limitations. Know how much you can handle in a day with every aspect of your life.
• Stay away from drugs. Sometimes drugs can cause your ability to be even more which makes it so that you no longer have the ability to control it.
• Know what to do with the negative energy that you feel from others. Dispel it from you so that you are not taking it on as your own.

These are just a few ways to make your empathic life easier. Basically you just need to know what works best for you. And, if you can’t get there on your own, never be afraid to ask for help. Take some self help classes or even a yoga/meditation course. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

May you find happiness in your heart, love for yourself and joy in each other. Blessings to all.
