Think for a moment about your morning routine. You likely take a shower, comb your hair, brush your teeth, get dressed, eat breakfast, and maybe have a cup of coffee. These tasks help you to physically prepare for the day.
Energetically, there are also ways to prepare for the day. Some people meditate and others go for a walk. Some people have a daily spiritual practice, such as writing in a gratitude journal or setting intentions for the day.
For empaths and others who are sensitive to energy, I recommend starting the day with a four-part practice I’ve named the Recipe. The Recipe consists of grounding, centering, being comfortable in your space, and creating a bubble of protection.
Starting the day from a place of energetic alignment and balance helps empaths be prepared for what might lie ahead. By starting the day in a good, solid place energetically, we are more likely to stay grounded and in our truth rather than being influenced by emotions or energies in our environment.
We know what life is like. It can bring unexpected things our way. If we’ve done the Recipe, we have this extra bit of grace because we’re energetically prepared. When stressors arise, we more likely to choose our response from a place of centeredness rather than reacting and taking on the troublesome energy around us.
Most people wouldn’t think of leaving the house without being properly groomed and fed. For empaths, it’s equally as important to prepare prepare energetically for the day.
This work is real, and it matters.
