Energy takers often include:
• No self-care (always giving to others without boundaries)
• Toxic people (the constant takers in the world)
• Dehydration (can leave you feeling drained and depleted)
• Cloudy days (for some of us)
• No downtime (always being on the go)
• Lack of exercise (or not a lot of movement in your life in general)
• Unhealthy food (can also leave you feeling drained and depleted)
• Heightened emotions (especially anger for many of us)
• Emotional disconnection (can leave you feeling lonely and so alone, even if people are around us)
• Not getting enough sleep (can lead to heightened anxiety and depression symptoms)
• Focusing only on yourself (helping others, with boundaries, can be energizing to us)
• Too much time on electronics (the ultimate energy drain!)
What else would you add here?

How to Protect Your Energy from Others

I try to live in a little bit of my own joy and not let people steal it or take it.
-Hoda Kotb

If you’re a highly empathetic person, protecting your energy from others may be one of the most important things that you do for yourself. Highly empathetic people often have a super power of being able to pick up on the subtle feelings, emotions and energy from the people they come into contact with in their lives. However, highly empathetic people can be sponges as well, in that without boundaries they are also absorbing the feelings, emotions and energy of those around them.

If you are a highly empathetic person, what can you do about this tendency to soak up the feelings, emotions and energy of others, so you’re better protected in the world? One way is to visualize and imagine the protection you need covering your body as you enter into any given situation. Is it armor? Is it a soft bubble covering you? Is it mirrors to deflect other people’s judgments, criticism, and issues back to them?

What do you think? Do any of these ideas resonate with you?

If you’re struggling right now, know that you’re not alone. Many of us have trouble setting and maintaining boundaries with others, even if we know they are very much needed. If you could use more help and support in your life today, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your area. Know that I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and compassion you way!

Here are some self-care ideas for when you’re struggling with self-worth:
• Write in a journal- do a mind dump journaling session and then write from a place of being heart-centered
• Got to therapy- individual therapy can be so helpful here
• Do something creative like painting, coloring, drawing, etc.
• Focus on mindfulness and being present in this moment
• Create a daily mantra like be yourself or be here now
• Snuggle with your pets- one of the best types of self-care in my opinion!
• Practice sending loving kindness towards yourself and others
• Spend time with loved ones- people who truly know you, truly like you and truly love you
What else helps you when you’re struggling with self-care in your own life?

Where not feeling like you’re enough may stem from:
• Familial roles
• Perfectionism
• Being blamed by others
• Past unresolved trauma
• A mental health struggle
• A way of doing life that was modeled by your parents
• Parents who didn't show up for you

Worthiness and Feeling Like You’re Not Enough

There is something wonderfully bold and liberating about saying yes to our entire imperfect and messy life.
-Tara Brach

Don’t you love this quote from Tara Brach? It takes work to be perfectly imperfect in our daily messy lives! It also takes work to create self-worth internally. It takes work to know that you’re enough internally as well.

However, many of us struggle internally with self-love, self-worth, self-value, etc. Add in external struggles and other people’s judgments and criticisms of us, and without boundaries, their issues can very easily be absorbed by us. Their issues can become our own issues if we’re not careful. For a lot of us, the work is also figuring out what issues are truly ours that need to be worked through and released, and what issues are actually other people’s issues that need to be externalized and sent back to sender.

If you’re struggling in your own life right now, know that you’re not alone. Many of us struggle with self-love, self-worth and self-value at different times in our lives. If you could use more help and support today, please reach out to your doctor or a therapist in your area. I’m thinking of you and sending lots of love and support your way as you navigate stabilizing feelings of self-love, self-worth and self-value within yourself!
