Why is stress exercise, such as peopling, important to the health of the empath?

Well, in my opinion, stress exercise is important because the more you avoid stimulation, the more arousing the remaining stimulation becomes.

If we retreat from contact with people, but remain active online, then in time even going online can become stressful and over-arousing in itself.

Anxiety from interacting on social media, messaging platforms, and even opening our email program can become stressful in itself.

Then the next problem begins. Answering the door or the phone can also become anxiety-provoking.

The more you do something, the less stressful it becomes to repeat. This is called habituation.

I advise anyone who has retreated from the world, and now finds it hard, draining, or overwhelming to return, to take baby steps.

First, go for a walk and briefly interact with people.

Next, go into a shop.

Then, when you feel ready, go into town and do what I call peopling.

The empath can learn to tolerate people, remain present in the world, and use their gift while being around others.

Unempowered empaths often find it difficult to interact with people, tolerate their energy, and use their gifts in the way they were intended. Empaths have been born with a unique gift and purpose: to help heal others and raise the collective frequency at this important time. Yet unempowered empaths often struggle with the very people they feel called to serve. This is the duality many empaths experience.

So remember, stress exercise is just as important as physical exercise.

Ironically, when you go peopling, you are usually doing both at the same time.

The result is a happier, healthier empath. 🙏
