Do you find it very hard to disconnect from someone you love who is draining you?
Or to say "no" when you cannot do something, but you sense the other person's need?
Or to shut down from everything you've been feeling all day and be able to rest at night?
If so, you are like most empaths - you have a hard time having healthy boundaries. Let me show you why, and how to get some!
✔️Do you feel guilty when you need to shut down for a while?
✔️Are you sometimes not even able to respond to a text, because that is energy you just don't have?
✔️Do you feel weird or weak when you need to hide in your room for a while - or a whole weekend - because you simply cannot take one more bit of stimulation?
✔️Is it almost impossible for you to stop helping, even when you KNOW you are on the way to burn out (or are already there)?
Do you feel pulled apart at the seams because you have so many people who need so. many. things. all. the. time. and they expect you to put aside all your needs to take care of their wants?
Yeah, me, too.
It took me a LONG time to finally understand that I was allowed to keep some energy for myself.
I was allowed to say "no."
