Remember a time where you walked into a room and BAM! Suddenly you’re feeling stressed, negative, and sad. But here’s the thing… you weren’t feeling that way a minute ago!

So what happened? You absorbed the energy and emotions that were in that room. 

See, emotions are contagious. And as empaths and highly sensitive people, we’re emotional sponges that take in ALL the emotional germs that are floating around.

You might think that you’d need intense emotions or long interactions to absorb someone else’s feelings, but nope, that’s just not the case. Heck, simply walking past someone on the street can be enough!

It’s the way our brains work. We pick up emotions from others. And even though these emotions aren’t ours, they weigh us down. 

Here’s the kicker… sometimes you don’t even know you’ve absorbed them!

It’s super-duper important that you DO release them (after all, they don’t belong to you!), but first, you have to realize that you picked them up in the first place. Luckily, we’ve got 4 simple steps to help you identify when you’ve picked up those crappy emotions so you can send them on their merry way!
