Empath Lifestyle Tips: Self-Care for Sensitive People

Hello, you beautiful Empaths! Has your brilliant world turned dark and heavy? Can you relate to, “OMG, I’ve lost my happiness”? You’re probably wondering how this happened. The answer is simple. You lost control of your own energy and power when you handed it over to someone else - yikes! But it’s okay! I’m going to teach you some empath lifestyle tips so you can get your life back. And no, you do not need to travel the world, sit in an ashram, or turn your whole life upside down to make things right.

First things first, stop beating yourself up about it! Take some deep breaths and do a gut-check. After all, this experience will help you learn and grow. When you’re feeling like your world is spinning out of control, you need to believe in yourself like never before! Do not look outside yourself — go within. You are ready to take it all back and more… 

You are a sensitive, an Empath, and that is a compliment. You may not like to rock the boat, but hiding from the truth will only make things harder. You must take pro-active steps to regain control and live your own life. The most powerful step you can take is to decide (today) that you’re going to stop waiting for life to get better. Life is not going to change. YOU are going to change. You are in control of your own life and are the only one who can turn things around.

So, what now?  

Setting intentions is great as well as other tools like meditation, essential oils, crystals, tree-hugging, and beyond. But to get started, YOU need to take a few critical action steps to kick your life back into gear. Let’s get started:  

#1 Ask Yourself These 3 Key Questions 

1. Am I a people pleaser? 
2. Do I set firm boundaries? 
3. Do I run from conflict?

1. Center- Ground & connect to your spirit daily. 
2. Breathe- Find your inner calm, breathe deeply, drink more water, and increase self-care.
