EMPATHS PT. 2: SIGNS YOU ARE AN EMPATH
The first step is to realize that you are an empath. When you take on someone else’s feelings, you feel it as if it is yours. If you don’t know you are an empath, you probably just wonder why you felt so good a minute ago and now you feel badly. Or, vice versa. Here are some signs that you are an Empath:

🔸 We all have times when we walk into a space and feel an energy of the place or the people in it. If you are an empath, you feel the energy more deeply. If the energy in a place is sad, you may almost feel like bursting into tears. You pick up on the energy and it feels like it is your feelings but it’s not.

🔸 You are going about your day and everything is fine and you are quite happy with life. Your phone rings and it is a friend that is unhappy. You talk to your friend for a few minutes, and then for the rest of the day, you find you are unhappy too. You don’t just find yourself “being there” for your friend, you actually take on the mood and feelings of your friend.

🔸 You are around someone who is sick, and you start to feel a little sick yourself. You may not get 100% of their illness, you just find that when you are around someone who is sick, you don’t feel totally healthy. Or you get unexplained aches and pains around certain people.

🔸 Finding yourself in the role of counselor or confidante much of the time. Having people dump their energies onto you; they feel better, you feel drained.

🔸 You feel responsible for other people’s feelings. Doing things to make them feel better, even if it’s bad for you.

🔸 You sometimes feel what the world is feeling. Watching the news can really get you depressed.

🔸 You find that you often need to just be alone, away from other people.

🔸 You put your own needs last.

🔸 If you are around someone who is worried about money, you begin to worry about money, even if your own financial situation is fine and you can’t logically think of a reason to be worried. (This could be about any subject, relationships, kids, home ~ anything).

🔸 If you ever find yourself saying, “I’m not my normal self today”, chances are you have picked up on someone else’s energy.

Much Love!
