Being an Empath

“ You are so sensitive!” Has anyone ever said this to you? The perception of sensitivity is often seen as a bad thing. In this patriarchal society, we are told that being tough, hard, and resilient are revered qualities and that being too in touch with your feelings is indicative of weakness.

Empaths are people who can be considered “energetic sponges”. They are like conduits and receivers of emotions. Empathic people are often psychic and very aware of the energies and emotional experiences of people, places and animals. People often confide in them and like to talk to them about their problems because they know what people need to hear, yet may have difficulty expressing their own emotions. It may even be challenging for an empath to distinguishing their emotions form other people’s emotions. Empaths are sometimes even targets of bad treatment because they feel like people need them to be there for them. This can cause a build-up of negative energy that can manifest as anxiety, depression, and feeling lonely.

Being an empath is not a bad thing. Being sensitive to your surroundings and others allows you to experience life on a deeper level. Love, art, music, delicious foods and your passions become very profound and meaningful. Your ability to help and support people is needed in this world. Empaths make very good counselors, coaches, and intuitive workers.  It is easy for an empath to tell when someone is being dishonest, even if they don’t acknowledge it. Empaths naturally care about people and their well being.

On the flip side, empaths are constantly absorbing energy around them. This can leave one mentally and physically tired. Absorbing outside energies can be happening whether the empath is aware of it or not. The most important thing an empath can do is to become aware of any negative emotions that don’t belong. Everyone has a right to choose how they feel and everyone has the ability to set strong emotional boundaries. Empaths also need to know that it is safe to be authentic with others. Knowing and loving the self and addressing personal needs keeps us in balance. Crystals such an Amethyst and Black Tourmaline are also very powerful, supportive, and protective for empaths. Empaths also benefit from spending time in nature, as earth energies are restorative and cleansing. A strong, trustworthy support system of loving, authentic people is also extremely helpful for the empathic soul.

Empaths are very powerful beings, as they help to heal and raise the vibration of the entire planet. If you are empathic, embrace your gift. Your influence and energetic presence is much needed.

The Dangers of Escapism

When most people think of addictions the first thing that usually comes to mind is having an unhealthy connection to food, alcohol, drugs, porn, etc.  However, if we look beyond the actions and patterns of addiction, what we are really dealing with is escapism. There is a need to be anywhere but in the present moment. This is pervasive in our culture today.

Escapism is defined as the tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by entertainment or engaging in fantasy. There are the extremes of addiction to substances, but escapism can also manifest into watching too much TV, reading books, listening to music, social media, daydreaming, working out, and so on. These activities can be healthy and even useful in small doses. Taking breaks and vacations are necessary and restorative. We all need a break and we all need outlets for balance. It becomes an issue when it goes too far and affects out productivity and forward movement in life. All we want to do is escape avoid what is going on.

Escapism in the extreme allows us to avoid shame and emotional pain. It is impossible to fully escape from life and all of the twists, turns, ups and down. If escapism is an issue, you can learn to find balance again and get yourself back in the driver’s seat of your life. For starters, it is vital to improve and maintain the relationship to yourself. Do you love who you are? Do you accept yourself totally in the here and now? It is my belief that when escapism begins to have a negative influence on your life that it is an indication of deep seated self-loathing. No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape from yourself. Wherever you go, there you are. Habitual escapism will eventually alienate you from your friends, family, and it can keep you from living the life you truly deserve because you will not be setting worthy goals.

The methods of escapism in and of themselves are not the issue. Rather, it’s the motivation behind the actions. It is important to identity what you are actually trying to escape from. Are we in a relationship that has ran its course? Perhaps we are in an unfulfilling job and we look forward to getting a drink after work? Are you not happy with your weight? What are you really trying to disassociate with? This will require some introspection and ultimately taking responsibility for your life and everything in it. This is not an easy task and it will take some time, especially if escapism has been a coping mechanism for you for a long time. The sting of reality can be painful. However, it can be done, and you will be a stronger, more aware version of yourself.

When Life Throws You Lemons…

Life doesn’t always go as we planned. In fact, life is what happens when we have other plans. No one is immune to the setbacks, challenges, and failures. This simple fact often scares us and keeps up from moving forward with plans and taking action. We want things to be perfect and hassle free. Unfortunately, this is not a worthy goal. We have a choice whether or not to accept that life will challenge us, or remain stuck.

It’s through life’s hard times that we find out who we really are. We don’t know far along we are until we are tested. When life throws us curve balls, we begin to discover our insecurities and this gives up an opportunity to work on them. Nothing holds you back more than your own insecurities. You can ask yourself during these times, what would a more confident and stronger version of myself do?

If you are reading this, that means that you have survived 100% of your worst days, and you will press on. You are strong, because you have been weak. You become fearless by experiencing fear and working through it. Be thankful for your struggles because you find your true strength. You learn to master your moods, develop more self-control, and use your inner wisdom. It takes real courage to work through the tough times, but when you do that energy passes into your resolve, life experience, and overall sense of well-being.

At some point, life challenges have a way of fitting into your development and make sense. You realize that you have pushed past what you thought you could not do or experience. Hopefully, you begin to work even harder on yourself and integrate the lessons. You will definitely know yourself better, which ultimately makes it all worth it.
