5 Weeks of Empath Solutions

Week 2: Boundary Setting

Last week, if you missed it, I talked about emotional overwhelm, its root causes, and solutions to those causes. Here is the final blog post regarding this topic, titled, "Overwhelming Feelings as an Empath? 3 Easy Solutions".​

As mentioned in the above post, boundary setting can be a tool used to help with "taking on" too much physical responsibility that isn't yours. As empaths, learning how and when to set boundaries is very important.

WHY Boundaries are Crucial for Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Well-being

Think of boundaries, as walls of protection for yourself. As an empath, our energies and emotions are more sensitive. Therefore, we must find ways to protect ourselves, even more so than the average person. Otherwise, this could lead quickly to things like depression, chronic fatigue, health issues, anxiety disorders, addiction and more.

3 Steps to Proper Boundary Setting

1. Attune to YOUR needs. Practice turning inwards and checking in with yourself to see how much you can “handle”. Start to build an inventory of these occurrences in a journal. Becoming more mindful of these things will help you get to know yourself better so you can set proper boundaries that work for YOU. To accelerate your mindful practice, tapping, aka EFT can be a great tool!
2. Practice saying NO. If you are new to setting boundaries, it is good to start small, as you are developing a new habit. First start to say no to close friends and family. OR strangers (if that is easier!). And it can be something simple such as saying no to meeting up with a friend because you just checked in with yourself and you are feeling extra tired. Or, compromise with that friend (if they are super busy and it is hard to get together). Maybe instead of going to a busy restaurant, you can order food and chill at your house.

3. Prioritize Self Care. One of the biggest issues with saying no, is we feel for others so deeply. You may feel a strong sense of responsibility for others' emotions. But what you must realize is that your priority is having a responsibility to YOUR own feelings FIRST. I know (as I used to feel this way and still do sometimes) that it may sound selfish, but, it is actually not at all! When we first take care of our own needs, we can show up for others BETTER.

FINAL NOTES

I happened to stumble upon the above quote and right away for some reason, it really struck a chord. There is deep truth within these words. Oftentimes in my life, I have felt like others' "keeper", that I am only here to serve their wants and needs but, in doing so great resentment built up, I caused physical and emotional harm to myself, and I became someone I didn't like.

I feel that learning this great skill, of boundary setting, has been the cornerstone of taking a turn towards something better than who I was before and showing up in the best way possible for the ones I care for the most.

There truly is no greater thing than feeling completely responsible for oneself and knowing you have the power to shift things for yourself and the greater good. That you are NOT at others' mercy.
