So, you think you're an empath? Well I tell you why. There's probably some
things you need some help with and how to protect yourself from all this
information coming in. Check out this video and I'm going to train you on the
first 3 steps to protect you while being an empath.
So, you find out that you're an empath. And you find out that you
discover that you have this ability to be able to tune in and to really listen
to other people's thoughts and actually feel their emotions coming from them. But
what are you doing to protect yourself? Because you can imagine, if you're
talking to one person you know you'd be able to manage that amount of
information coming to you. Because that's what empaths do, is they they have a lot
of information coming to them from another person. But this may explain why
you struggle in groups of people. Or when all the family gets together, you find
yourself withdrawing yourself is because you don't know how to protect yourself.
From so much information coming in to for you to be able to analyze. Most
empaths don't realize that they must protect themselves. And it's not like
you're protecting yourself from something that's going to be bad from
happening to you. But to be able to protect yourself because there's so much
incoming information, you can actually get overwhelmed. And you literally could
actually lose yourself amongst all that information. Let's think for just a
moment that that all your thoughts and all your emotions are information. That's
what it is. Thoughts and emotions are it's
information. And on the outside of our skin, anything that's going on around us
our body and our mind is recording and analyzing all this information. And being
an empath, what happens is when you're around people, you not only have your
environment information coming into you but you also have other people's
thoughts and emotions coming towards you. So groups of people are going to overwhelm
you like crazy. And the reason why I know this is because I've had to learn how to
govern this myself. So, let's talk about 3 ways that you can actually protect
yourself so you don't hit those overwhelmed feelings. And even you don't
have to remove yourself from that group of people. Now, here's the crazy thing. I'm
an empath and I'm also a seminar leader. I stand up in front of hundreds of
people, large groups of people and teach. And I've got to manage this information
that's coming in or there's no way I would stand up in
front of a group of people. There's no way. So, one of the things we may want to
look at is that empaths are not stuck in their struggles in analyzing people's
information that's coming in to him. No, you can you can manage this. And you can
actually use this as a skill to be able to teach lots of people and help lots of
people all at the same time. But you need to know how to protect yourself first.
And that's what I want to help you with right now is what do you do to help
protect yourself. And I'm going to give you 3 starters to be able to do this.
It's not it's not the final list but it's the beginning of how to do this. So
that you can literally enjoy your day and literally be able to look forward to
getting up in the morning and not avoiding the day and what you're doing.
So, number 1. Let's take a look at number 1.
Number 1 is for you to be able to manage your identity. An empath that is
not clear about who they are, what their purpose is and what they're doing is
going to feel like they're going to lose their identity. And what happens is is
you start to lose your identity. You get scared, you get nervous, you feel like
you don't matter to the world. And that is a scary thing because if we don't
feel like we matter, then what happens is we feel like we don't exist. And then
that gives the feeling that we're dying. When we start to lose our identity, we
start to feel like we lose ourselves and that is really a sensation of feeling
like we're dying. So, how do you clarify your identity? Now, I know this is going to
sound very elementary but it is very important. You write down on a pad of
paper your identity. Who are you? What do you do? How do you help other people? What
is this gift you have going to do for others? And literally, what is your life
mission? Now, if you didn't catch all those, you get to rewind and play those
again. But if we don't clarify our identity, we don't clarify what it is
that we're working on, what happens is when we lose these parts of who we are,
we actually start to lose touch. And when we lose touch with who we are, we feel
like we're having a come apart and we feel like we're falling apart and
then what happens is we're just scared worried all the time.
Scared and worried all the time and that's what an empath generally
struggles with is feeling scared. And worrying about all kinds of things. But
that number 1 of being able to clarify and be able to know your identity
because it is written down. And because you have it written down, what you do is
you read this at least once a week. It's like coming back to the page and getting
your mind, your body and your soul all on the same page. Because you have other
people's information coming in to you. This helps you recalibrate to keeping
you solid. With all the information swirling around you,
you must stay solid. Number 2, what happens is there is a lot of input and
there is a lot of output that's happening with this information. You're
trying to sense and feel what other people are doing. People's information is
just coming to you because you can sense it and hear it. And so, you get to start
to learn how to manage the input compared to your output. So, this is what
I had to do. I had to go out into nature and literally tune into nature. Because
see, people are... They have this irregular amount of information that they
give off, right? It's just it's in bursts, it's in small quantities, large
quantities. But nature is constant. The information a tree gives off is constant.
It doesn't vary. The information that a pond of water gives off is constant.
Nature is constant. People are not. And so for me to be able to balance myself in
being able to understand what I'm feeling and how I'm feeling information
from people, I had to go into nature and practice, (and hear me on this one)
literally practice listening to nature. Feeling nature. Becoming one with nature.
And how I did that is you you take 15-20 minutes. You take 15-20 minutes and you
go sit in nature and you literally focus on a tree. You look and find a tree and
you focus on that tree. And you begin to literally listen to what the tree has
to say to you. I know. Right now you're probably thinking I've lost it and this
is crazy talk and everything. But I'm talking to people who are empahts. If
you're not an empath, you don't care about this stuff and you're going to think
I'm crazy. But if you have any signs of being
an empath, you want to do this. You want to go practice in nature because trying
to practice with people, you're going to go nuts. You're going to go crazy trying to
figure this out. Nature is constant. And that tree is
always giving off a story. It has messages for people who will listen. That
pond of water has a message for people who will listen. That mountain often the
distance has a message for people who will listen. And so as an empath what you
do is you go sit in nature for 20 minutes and you go listen and and if you
don't hear anything, you get to practice listening. Now, what you do is you take a
journal with you and as you're listening, you write down the message that that
tree is giving you or that pond of water or that stream or that mountain or if
you look off in the distance you see a horse. That horse has a message for you.
Everything, every living creature, everything out in nature has a message
for us. And so when you practice listening to nature and writing down the
messages you get. What it does for you is it helps you fine tune your listening
skills. Because when you're finished listening to nature, you can turn it off
and get back in the car and drive home. But you're learning how to govern what's
coming to you. You're learning how to manage your listening skills. Because
right now, if you feel overwhelmed with all this information coming from people,
it's because you don't have any control. You have no control and the information
is just coming in as fast as it wants and in globs and bursts. And it almost
feels like people are dumping on you. But this one right here is you are learning
how to listen and how to recognize what those messages are. It's a great way to
practice managing yourself. Now, this last one is super important. What has to do
with is for your mind and your body and your soul to actually do
better, what you're going to need to do is you need to feed your body better foods.
If you eat junk then you have junk skills. If you eat healthy, you have
healthy skills. If you put bad material in you your performance it's going to be bad.
I mean it just makes so much sense you put good material in you, you're going to
perform good. The same thing happens to your mind. You put junk in your body, your
brains going to be in a... Your minds going to be in a place of being junky. It can't
manage what's happening. So, what you do is you start eating your vegetables,
right? You eat an apple during the day, eat your green beans and you
find some of those vegetables fruits and vegetables that are good for you. You
really do. It really it really is getting a demand that you take better care of
yourself. The more you focus on taking better care of yourself, what happens is
you have better strengths and better intuition of how to help people. With all
this information coming in and you being able to perceive people what they're
thinking what they're feeling, your job really is to help people. But when your
systems all messed up, you can't help him very good. So you up the game when it
comes to nutrition. And not just your you know apples and oranges and green beans
and once in a while some broccoli or something like that.
That's a start. But maybe you want to dive in and and learn more about your
nutrition. And learn more about what can really serve you. So, part of nutrition is
you're adding some good things but you're also cutting out some things
they're just not good for you. And I know, maybe you're a chocolate
lover and you're like, "I can't go without chocolate." But you know you could do is
you could get higher quality chocolate. You know, sometimes there's foods we eat
that are just our lower quality. Maybe bump it up a little bit and just have
some higher quality desserts in smaller quantities. There's something smart to
think about. The main thing here is for you not to feel threatened or scared or
worried about being an empath because I think it's a beautiful gift. And it could
really help a lot of people but take consideration of these 3 beginning
steps of protecting yourself. So you don't run
away from this. Know that what you have as an ability is really to help. It's
really a great thing to be able to help other people one-on-one or with larger
groups of people. Now, if you'd like to learn more about what I teach and how I
