for them to dump their emotions, by not calling it their own, until you start to believe that they are right.

Empaths, must, must, must know themselves; their highs, their lows, the things that they like about themselves, the things that push their buttons, everything, eveything. And if we find ourselves around anyone that are not able to be responsible for their own emotional turf, then distance is necessary for our wellbeing and survival.

Being empathic, is a 24/7 experience. No shortcuts, consistent application of awareness is our protection to our boundaries. And as an empath, begin to tune in to how you feel in various situations. Choose wisely, where you put your energy. Being empathic doesn't make us better than anyone else; the sensitivity level is just higher and calls, no demands, greater attention to detail.

Empaths must act from honesty, within themselves, at all times, it is the only way to know when we go from feeling OK, to not feeling OK. One of the many things that I have shared and taught on this journey, is journal. Journal your day. Spend time at the end of your day, journaling how your day was and where your emotions ended up at the end of the day. Begin to notice, how many times, you felt thrown from your center. Begin to become intune to your shifting emotions. Now, keep in mind, this won't take away the experiences, but you will gain greater control and clarity, with tremendous discipline, focus and practice, for maintainting your awareness to your boundaries.

As empaths, our survival and wellbeing are dependent on knowing how we are feeling in our emotions, consistently, throughout the course of our day.

In the end, whether you are an empath or a sensitive, the greatest gift that we can give to ourselves, is slow down enough to know ourself. It is time for a tune in and a tune up to our emotional intelligence.
