How will we know if we're an Empath!? Only we ourselves know the depths of who we TRULY are, right? So learning to be compassionate and listen to ourselves with kindness, is KEY. So, this is what I've found for myself defines not only practicing empathy but being an Empath.

Please go listen to Stuff You Should Know- How Empathy Works- April 06 2017

There is much to learn from this! We are not meant to and will not all feel the world the same, and we will not always understand exactly how others live in it. Relationships, stories, and listening to other sides of things is never ending... and it reminds me how different we truly interpret life sometimes! Let's discuss!

Learning how to practice healthy empathy when it's what we ourselves embody, and what it is we are truly here to do.

All my love and joy-

We will NEVER not care. It just ain't gonna happen, BUT, it's helping to remind myself to just care about me more. To make sure I'm not sacrificing myself, to keep others safe in their delusions.

Day by day baby.

Abundance has always felt like something that I had to earn.  I've believed, I'm just being selfish, or I have to "do the work" enough to deserve good things.  And trust me, I've always been one to talk about "doing the work" but...the way I've imprisoned myself...ain't healthy, and it ain't a truth I'm willing to live for the rest of my life.

On that note- let's talk about pickin' up on people's energies and especially the mucky ones like anger and anxiety.

1. First, let's make sure you don't have an agreement with someone that they bring home all their homework for you to do...cause that ain't cool.  You're not broken or busted, you have an unhealthy agreement with someone who lacks self-responsibility.

2. People that sincerely come to you with their heartache, know you are a safe space, and often don't need much more than a listening ear.  Make sure you remind yourself there's nothing else to be done, but love em.  That's more than enough.

Sometimes we don't need the facts, because we've already been reasoning away and avoiding the facts all along.  We need someone else's story.  To hear ourselves in someone else's words.  Sometime's only then will we recognize what it is we've been feeling and trying to understand.

Letting go and seeing the truth can be so painful, but the reward of untameable truth and compassion is beyond words.  We may be delaying love and joy we never thought possible, by holding onto things that no longer serve us.

One day at a time.  Just keep goin' baby, I'm right there with ya.

Don't invite everyone into the private details of your life!  I mean, OR your actual privates, but that's for completely different reasons we can discuss at a later date.

You are sacred and PRECIOUS.  Keep some gems to yourself so they can continue to grow.  Don't let people dull your shine by critiquing it at their every will.

with love and joy-
