035 In My Feelings: How To Handle All the Sadness In Society

So yall, things have been very heavy recently.  The craziest thing is, that my life, my personal life, is great.  But every time I get on social media or turn on the news it looks like things are going from bad to worse.  A few weeks ago Nipsey Hussle died and I didn’t know that man…but I felt genuine sadness for his family that lasted for days and I know I’m not alone in those feelings.  I’ve seen and read about people who aren’t connected with tragedies and situations yet they feel depressed and anxious, having trouble sleeping, and racing thoughts due to these events.  Many of us are being sucked in emotionally by what is going on around us.  Being able to empathize with others is one thing, but what do you do when you are literally taking on other’s situation and feelings as your own?  In today's episode, I want to help you understand what it means to be an empath and how to manage the barrage of news that is constantly coming at you in a healthy way.  And so I want to inspire you to…manage the emotions.
