Don’t Walk In Their Shoes

As a caring empathic person, we often feel others’ troubles as if they are our own. Especially if it is a family member or someone we love.  The thing is, that is not helping them and certainly not helping you either. It is so important to be in the best possible place to help others and this involves some self-care on your part.

It might be that you ground and protect each day so you can’t get pulled into their drama. You might have some good practices in place and regularly cord cut.  You might even feel really guilty about having boundaries as they are your loved ones and you should be there for them.  I totally agree you should be there but not in a way that is detrimental to you as it won’t help them. Let me explain.

Imagine for a moment you are walking across a desert. There is a path you are following, your loved one is ahead and you are following right behind them. They trip and fall down a hole, hurting their ankle. As you are with them you fall down the same hole and injure yourself too. Not only are you feeling their pain but feeling your own too. You can carry on limping together on this difficult journey or you can walk alongside them so then you don’t fall down the hole and you can help them up when they do. You can support them to your full ability. You can be the light, the strength and show them the way out.

Your self-care is so important so don’t let yourself get drawn into other people’s drama.
