🌻💕Ca Yesterday, I came across a new article on Psychology Today from one of my favorite people, Judith Orloff, MD. The article, titled The Importance of Self-Care for Sensitive People: The art of self-care for thriving as an empath, excellently describes the empath person and goes on to talk about how important self-care is to an empath. (Self-care is VERY important! MOST essential!) If you experience a regular high sensitivity to the feelings of other people and the world around you, I recommend reading this article and also looking up all of Judith's books.
A couple of years ago, when I first read one of Judith's books called The Empath's Survival Guide a whole new understanding dawned within my soul! This book has been immensely eye opening and helpful to me, granting me a greater insight into myself and a greater compassion and understanding for myself.
At times, being an empath can feel immensely overwhelming and can cause me much sorrow if I am not paying attention and being mindful to take care of myself. Yet, I also know that being an empath is a most beautiful, wonderful gift to me and to the world.💕🌻
"Empaths are helpers, lovers, and caretakers who often give too much at the expense of our own well-being. Research suggests that our mirror neuron system (a part of the brain responsible for compassion) is hyperactive, which can burn us out." --Judith Orloff, MD
"As an empath, you have an open heart. You don’t have the same emotional guard up that many others do. You feel people’s pain--both loved ones and strangers--and you instinctively want to take it away from them." --Judith Orloff, MD
