Number 3. Take a break from social media.

It is bound to happen: when you’re scrolling through social media posts, you could come across something that triggers you. Rather put down your phone and take a walk outside, or listen to music. This doesn’t mean you must delete all your social media accounts and never check-in. Social media can have benefits, especially for connecting to other people that you care about. But taking a break now and again will do you a world of good.

Number 2. Breathe.

Breathwork brings cleansing and clarity. It quiets your mind, removes old energy, and lets new, fresh energy into your body. Let’s say you’re at work and something happens that triggers you emotionally. You are unable to get away, but there is a simple solution. Focus on your breathing, even just for a couple of seconds. You will feel the difference as it helps to calm you down.

Number 1. Being alone.

An empath needs a lot of time alone. Crowds can be overwhelming and just way too busy for an empath. Lots of activity and noise can drain your energy. Solitude allows you to recharge, ground yourself and find balance again. You might feel that you need to go for a walk in nature, read a book, dance, or do gardening. Or you might just need to be quiet and not do anything at all.

Being alone and doing something you enjoy will help you prepare to face the world again, when you have to.
