When situations heat up are you able to keep your cool?
When an empath is in health, she can see what others see. And she can use that vision to connect, inspire and create.
An empath who is not in health feels what others feel as if it’s her own. The intensity gets overwhelming and she can easily lose her perspective and choice.
So, what do you do when your capacity for empathy gets dialed up to 1000% in hot situations? And you lose yourself in the moment?
I recently had to work myself through this… some surprising info has come to light as a result. I hope it helps you next time you run into a hot head and start to become one yourself!
Tune into this episode to discover:
- #1 muscle to build to handle hot situations
- Key a-ha on why you tend to match other people’s emotions rather than being yourself
- How being pro-active with your emotional bandwidth helps you handle surprising upsets
- Tips to use in the moment to regain your perspective and conscious choice
- And most importantly – how to release self-judgment when your empathic abilities ran amuck
