Recently, we talked about not the easiest share of people who have powerful empathy. That is, the ability to empathize with another. Today we will tell you about simple practices that will help an empath protect himself from emotional exhaustion and at the same time not lose his ability to empathize:
Create a "secluded harbor" home
Your own corner, in which everything is exactly the way you want it. Choose the most comfortable place - a bedroom, a balcony, a bathroom - and equip this place with those attributes that will immerse you in comfort and relaxation.
Candles, sticks with aromatic oils, a rug with fluffy nap, a bouquet of dried flowers, a picture, something else. Choose what your heart responds to, what gives you a state of peace.
Start a grounding ritual
That is, a healthy habit that will become a daily ritual that fills you with energy. It can be a few pages of a book before going to bed, a walk in the park on a familiar route, a yoga class, a cup of tea every night in a quiet cafe. Choose yours - and such an "anchor" will become a regular emotional recharge for you.
Include observer
Learn to manage your gift: listen to the person as if from the outside, not letting his difficult stories pass through you.
Keep in mind the idea that people need to speak out and experience their emotions, that they are better able to support themselves on their own than you think. You can try to mentally imagine a glass partition between you and the person you are talking to.
Take care of yourself, and then your sensitivity will cease to be a heavy burden. It will not hinder, but, on the contrary, help you in your relationships with people.
