Empathy

The gift of sensitivity can be much a curse when you think about how much pain you have to suffer to get to greener pastures. It seems that nothing in life is going right and you feel really bad about yourself and on top of that you feel horrible for other people suffering misery. It's because you know pain so well that you can give a level of compassion and care no other can give. Here are some tips to help you. I know this has to do with empathy, but I feel it can apply to life in general.

1. Your pain is not less or greater than someone else's. You shouldn't compare the degree of pain seeing as it varies from people to people.

2. Don't belittle your emotions. Cut yourself some slack. If you aren't belittling someone else's emotions why do it to yourself. Honor your emotions and treat them with the same compassion and care as you would treat someone else's.

3. Get away from that terrible negative mentality. You must first give to receive. You have to allow yourself to let go of the pain to bring happiness. The world can be a hostile and somewhat evil place. If you stick with one type of mentality you get lost in it.

4. Nothing in this world is permanent. Happiness passes as well as pain. You're hurting now, but in the future you won't. If you try to stay with one emotion be it happiness or pain, you will only cause suffering and unable to live in the present.

5. Let yourself have it. You need to open yourself to changes. I know many who may say they want change and that they are trying, but they do nothing to facilitate such changes. If you want stability and peace let yourself have it. You will get there.

6. Patience and it'll blow over. I've said it before. A empath's goal should be balance of their varying aspects. It can be slow since there's much to sort through emotionally. With the constant bombardment from other emotional sources, it can be a trying time, but you with patience it'll pass. Everything comes to pass.

7. Smile. If you just find something that makes you feel light-hearted and smiley do it. A baby's laughter. A smell of fresh cut grass. Watching comedy.

8. Reality is what it is, but you don't have to carry it with you all the time. What I mean by this is reality can seem like a constant struggle against a flood of pessimism. We all taste it and know what it is. Life can be bitter, but it is contrasted by it's sweetness. Don't carry reality with you too long because you stifle the flow of the realm of imagination. Your thoughts are powerful. Use your imagination to spice up reality don't carry it with you like a chimp on your back.

Some of those tips are kind of similar, but it will happen. One day you will feel secure and happy with yourself. You WILL I promise. Let yourself have it!
