Being an empath is a gift, but it is often misunderstood and then felt to be a curse. An empath means that you are highly sensitive and have an inherited trait of a finely tuned nervous system that detects subtle energies, emotions, and information that most people do not pick up on (but is always there.)
This gift can be overwhelming until you learn how to use it for good. Most Empaths or HSP’s (highly sensitive people) need to be mindful of energetic overwhelm and have some techniques to clear themselves, as they move through their day.
If they do not, they usually live in a state of feeling frazzled, however, when an empath knows how to manage their energy, they turn this (highly sensitive) gift into their superpower.
A healthy empath knows how to navigate their sensitivity without getting lost in the emotions of others.
Let's take a look at four traits that I have found healthy and thriving empaths carry:
➝ You Honor Your Feelings. To the rest of the world you may appear overly sensitive, but you know your feelings are there to guide you. Instead of dismissing or suppressing your feelings, you honor them as valuable messages from your intuition. You understand that emotions are not inconveniences but roadmaps leading you toward alignment and self-awareness.
➝ You Stand For What Your Believe. A healthy empath doesn't sugarcoat the truth, but instead is willing and capable of stand up for their beliefs. What you believe in is seen as your truth and deep down you are in complete alignment with what is true for you. You stand firm in your beliefs, even if it causes discomfort. This means having strong boundaries, even when it’s difficult. You trust your inner voice, knowing that authenticity is more important than pleasing others.
➝ You Follow Your Intuition. You have this strong ability to just know, and then you follow that up with action. Your intuition speaks loudly, and you cannot simply ignore it when something deeply resonates with you. Whether it’s a cause, a conversation, or a career path, you allow your inner knowing to guide you. This passion fuels your purpose, helping you navigate life with clarity. You don’t just go "through the motions". You live with intention, driven by a deep connection to what truly matters.
➝ You Don't Absorb Others Energy. Even though you can feel others' doubts, frustrations, or impure thoughts - you simply just feel it and then have a centered practice of allowing it to move. There is no way to explain why you pick up on all these things, but it is as real to you as a cup of coffee in your hand. Rather than absorbing these emotions and carrying them as your own, you recognize them for what they are—external energies that do not define you and then move them through.
Thriving as a Healthy Empath
A healthy empath has learned the power of discernment, knowing when to hold space and when to release what is not theirs to carry. Being a healthy empath means you don’t just survive your sensitivity, you thrive within it. When you have mastered the balance between deep feeling, strong boundaries, truthful communication and personal alignment, everything clicks into place.
