Being a sensitive person in this world
can sometimes feel very draining due to the fact that we are very
receptive to the energy of the people and environment around us. Still,
we want to be part of situations that involve small or large groups of
people, and we would like to do it without becoming overwhelmed or
exhausted. With a few simple strategies we can entertain at home and
socialize in the world without running the risk of losing ourselves in
someone else’s energy or giving our energy away. All this takes is a
little time and practice, and the result -- being part of social events
without ending up depleted -- is well worth the effort.
The whole purpose of this self-care
ritual is to help keep yourself strong energetically when you are in a
situation that could potentially be draining. For example, if you are
having a party, you might take some time to prepare beforehand. Just as
you spend time cleaning your home and preparing food, it is essential to
prepare your inner home for the event. This can be as simple as taking a
mindful walk or a cleansing bath, or engaging in any other activity that
gives you energy. You can even just sit alone for a set period of time,
tuning in to your energy and connecting to yourself so that you are less
easily carried away by the energy outside of yourself. You may employ a
mantra such as “I am centered and safe in the home of myself.” You can
also charge a crystal or gemstone or any piece of jewelry with protective
energy and wear it or carry it with you. This can be helpful during the
event when just seeing it or touching it can remind you that you are
centered and safe.
Keep in mind that it is always
acceptable to excuse yourself for a bathroom break or to step outside for
a moment. This can give you the time and space you need to check in with
yourself and correct any energetic imbalances you detect. Whether you are
at home or out in the world, taking care of yourself in this way enables
you to keep your energy strong, even as you open yourself to others.
