Empaths are people who give their all to those who are around them, while highly sensitive people are a bit different they are quite similar. They both rarely say no and are often overwhelmed with emotions.
When it comes to protecting yourself as an empath there are several things you can do. Keeping yourself grounded is extremely important, and it can be essential for survival in this world. Now, if you are not quite sure how to keep yourself grounded you should give the following things a try; they may change your life for the better.
1. Learn to say no
There is nothing wrong with saying no when doing something is going to drain you, or when someone is abusing your kindness.
2. Set boundaries
Boundaries are good for you and for the other person. There are times when being less involved is the right thing to do.
3. Take time for yourself
Sometimes we need to be alone and that is perfectly okay. Spending time alone allows you to recharge.
4. Create a shield around yourself
The emotional shield you surround yourself with can protect you, to an extent from outside negative energies.
5. Meditate
Meditate every single day, this will ensure your energies are balanced, and that you are operating in your best state of mind.
6. Smudge your surroundings
This helps reduce the negative energies around you, and it will make your soul feel at peace.
7. Find an energy practitioner
Find someone who associates well with you to help you succeed on your journey.
8. Be in nature
Being in nature is something that has always helped combat negativity. This will allow you to be free and open to yourself and the universe.
If you follow through with the things listed above, you will be able to live a much happier life. Staying grounded is not as hard as it may seem, just breathe.
