Do you find yourself highly empathetic? If you do, you probably have trouble turning your emotions off at times. Here are 5 tips that we’ve compiled that we think will help.
1. Put aside some “me time” for yourself.
It’s draining being an empath, right? You’re constantly surrounded by people, whether it be at school, work, social gatherings, riding the bus, etc. Being bombarded by the energy of others can muddle up your head space and your own emotions can even be drowned out by the emotions of others. Putting aside some “me time” will allow you to recharge. Do things that make you happy! Take a bubble bath, go out for a bike ride, open up a bag of chips and listen to some new music, anything. Recharging is especially important for empaths. It helps clear away those negative emotions that you might’ve picked up throughout the day and it allows you to centre yourself.
