5 Weeks of Empath Solutions |
Week 2: Boundary SettingLast week, if you missed it, I talked about emotional overwhelm, its root causes, and solutions to those causes. Here is the final blog post regarding this topic, titled, "Overwhelming Feelings as an Empath? 3 Easy Solutions". As mentioned in the above post, boundary setting can be a tool used to help with "taking on" too much physical responsibility that isn't yours. As empaths, learning how and when to set boundaries is very important. WHY Boundaries are Crucial for Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Well-being Think of boundaries, as walls of protection for yourself. As an empath, our energies and emotions are more sensitive. Therefore, we must find ways to protect ourselves, even more so than the average person. Otherwise, this could lead quickly to things like depression, chronic fatigue, health issues, anxiety disorders, addiction and more. 3 Steps to Proper Boundary Setting
"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself." - Michel de Montaigne
3. Prioritize Self Care. One of the biggest issues with saying no, is we feel for others so deeply. You may feel a strong sense of responsibility for others' emotions. But what you must realize is that your priority is having a responsibility to YOUR own feelings FIRST. I know (as I used to feel this way and still do sometimes) that it may sound selfish, but, it is actually not at all! When we first take care of our own needs, we can show up for others BETTER. FINAL NOTES I happened to stumble upon the above quote and right away for some reason, it really struck a chord. There is deep truth within these words. Oftentimes in my life, I have felt like others' "keeper", that I am only here to serve their wants and needs but, in doing so great resentment built up, I caused physical and emotional harm to myself, and I became someone I didn't like. I feel that learning this great skill, of boundary setting, has been the cornerstone of taking a turn towards something better than who I was before and showing up in the best way possible for the ones I care for the most. There truly is no greater thing than feeling completely responsible for oneself and knowing you have the power to shift things for yourself and the greater good. That you are NOT at others' mercy.
