Give Yourself Space

Whether you are emotionally sensitive, or psychically or energetically sensitive - or all of the above! - it is important to not only recognize your sensitivity, but to honor it. A simple way to do so is to give yourself space. 

When you are emotionally sensitive, people's harsh words and emotions can affect you so deeply you want to withdraw, closing your heart. Energetic or psychic sensitivity is harder to recognize (as we don't really validate this in our world); therefore, can be harder to protect.

Sure, you can repeatedly stay in contact with those who hurt your feelings or whose anger pokes into you, but why? To preserve your need to feel good - to allow unfiltered JOY into your life - it is best to distance yourself from these kinds of people! In doing so, your need to guard yourself from their harshness, as well as joy, dissolves.

When it comes to psychic and energetic overload, just like with people, you need to create distance. Avoid going into overly busy or mis-aligned spaces (i.e. malls, crowds). As well, carve out a space in your own home where you can enjoy a personal retreat with an open heart. Daily space for the sensitive soul is as necessary as air! Take long, cleansing breathes of that simple, sacred space you've created... just for you.
