Not all of what you are feeling actually belongs to you. This is one of those things that sounds simple but genuinely changes everything once you notice it. A lot of the heaviness, anxiety, irritability, or sadness that shows up throughout your day is not yours. You picked it up somewhere. From someone. From a space. From a conversation or a scroll through your phone. Energetically sensitive people absorb. It is just what happens when your field is open and receptive. You walk through a crowd and you come home carrying ten different people's emotional weather. You have a hard conversation and afterward you feel the other person's stress sitting in your chest like it belongs to you. The practice is learning to ask one simple question whenever something feels off: is this mine? Not as a way to avoid your own feelings. Your feelings are always worth looking at. But as a genuine check in. Because if the answer is no, you do not have to process it like it is yours. You can just return it. Not with any drama or intention toward anyone. Just a quiet acknowledgment that this energy belongs somewhere else, and a breath to let it move out of your field. You are allowed to be open and protected at the same time. Sensitivity does not mean you have to absorb everything that passes through. Something to try: The next time a heavy feeling shows up out of nowhere, just pause and ask: did I feel this before I walked into that room, talked to that person, or opened that app? The answer tells you a lot. 💛 Drop a 🌀 if you are done unconsciously carrying what was never yours to begin with. From here on out we are getting intentional about what we let into our field.
