  You’re an (drumroll)... Emotional Empath.

  Image Source

  *Share your type on your Instagram story and tag @naomicourtney.co! Let's keep connecting one another with more empaths out there.You naturally pick up on the emotions of others. You're like a sponge for other people’s emotions and energy. When someone else feels excited, you feel excited. When someone else feels terrible, you feel terrible too. Being an emotional empath is a special gift. But I get it, it sure can be draining! It can be really draining to be around people who constantly complain, or don't honor your boundaries, or take advantage of your empathy. We can be drained by energy vampires quite easily.So what does that mean for you? You need strong boundaries like you need air and water.Ready To Set and Maintain Boundaries Like A Boss? Tips on Setting Healthy Boundaries: 1. Get clear on where your boundaries are being violated: There are many different types of boundary violations out there, but here are a few:-Verbal: Never being heard or listened to. Not being able to speak your truth. Being yelled or screamed at. Receiving degrading comments about your integrity or character.-Psychological/Emotional: Gaslighting. Having your emotional experience denied. Tearing down your self-esteem and self-worth. Criticizing, judging, threatening, or demeaning you. Manipulating, blaming, and making fun of you.-Physical: Violating your personal space and privacy. Being intimidated by physically aggressive behavior (ex. getting in your face, slamming around household objects loudly, physical abuse - *please seek professional support if you are in a physically abusive relationship).2. Set Healthy Boundary "Rules": Where do the rules need to be applied in your life? Is it a work, at home, or with some friends? Create boundary "rules" that you can apply to all of the relationships in your life (ex. No work phone calls after 6 pm, office hours are Monday through Friday only, having a time-limit of how long you'll spend on the phone with your complaining mother, etc.). You have to be consistent because these boundaries aren't really for the people you're setting them with, they're for you. 3. Focus on self-care and self-worth: When we have poor boundaries, our self-care can go out the window. When was the last time you got a moment alone? Have you eaten properly today? Are you getting a full 8-hours of sleep each night? Whatever you need to thrive, are you doing it? Also, build up your self-worth. Understand that you are worthy of an equal energy exchange and that you're worthy of respect. Unlearn the behaviors of letting people walk all over you and you over-giving. Listen to the way you feel after interacting with a person. Our emotions let us know when our boundaries have been violated. Who am I to tell you how to set healthy boundaries?

I help empaths understand their gifts, overcome energetic overwhelm, release limiting beliefs & create stronger boundaries in relationships.I was inspired to start my business because I want to help other empaths start to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. This is key in being able to clearly understand who we are, how we thrive, and what we need in our relationships. It wasn’t too long ago that I was feeling stuck in a state of disempowerment within my relationships. Always trying to understand others and show up for their needs, but never really honored what I needed as an individual.I was burnt out and overwhelmed energetically and emotionally, lacked solid boundaries, and I was really tired of feeling misunderstood by my loved ones. “How can I get them to understand me?” I’d always ask myself. Looking back, what I really needed to do first was to understand myself better on a deeper level.

  *Take a screenshot of your type, share it on your Instagram story, and tag @naomicourtney.co! Let's keep connecting one another with more empaths out there.You naturally take on and feel the physical ailments of others (ex. Your partner/loved one/family member suffers from physical pain, so then you begin to feel the pain or discomfort too). You find yourself feeling symptoms that are not your own (ex. anxiety, depression, fatigue, pain, or other ailments). Sometimes others even begin to feel a better after they're around you. Sound familiar?You can feel the energy of people and things when you run your hands over them (a lot of reiki healers are physical empaths)You need to energy grounding like you need air and water.Ready To Get Grounded Like A Boss? Tips on Grounding Your Energy: 1. Go for a walk outside/be in nature: Do some earthing (i.e., walk barefoot on the grass or the earth, it can help balance your energy!)2. Epsom salt baths/submerging yourself in the ocean: Relieves stress, soothes muscles, calms our nervous system down.3. Exercise: This one is huge! Even if you exercise for 10 minutes a day, this is crucial for sensitives to keep their energy clear and grounded. 4. Meditate: I know this is a buzzword that’s thrown around in the wellness space a lot nowadays. But this is one of the main things that has helped ease my anxiety and stress as a sensitive person. *There are a ton of free guided meditations on youtube to listen to if you’re just starting out. I also use the free versions of apps like headspace and calm.5. Listen to binaural beats: My favorite is meditative mind or tao winds on youtube. Free energy healing music, great for tuning up your chakras and resetting your energy.6. Use essential oils + smudging tools to sage your space: I love lavender+frankincense. I used to clear my space with palo santo (make sure it’s sustainably sourced), but please use alternatives if possible bc this tree is endangered and also a sacred indigenous cultural practice that needs to be respected and not appropriated. Some options are lavender or sweet grass.Who am I to tell you how to get grounded? Funny you should ask…Aloha! I’m Naomi!

  Image Source

  *Take a screenshot of your type, share it on your Instagram story, and tag @naomicourtney.co! Let's keep connecting one another with more empaths out there.You have a very strong intuition. You just "pick up on" how people are feeling or what they're thinking. With this gift of high sensitivity, sometimes it's tough not to take on the energy of others (especially when it's negative). Intuitive Empaths often have precognitive or psychic gifts.They receive messages through their vivid dreams (and this probably started for you from a young age). You might even have telepathic abilities (i.e., ability to intuit other’s thoughts, even if those thoughts aren’t expressed, receives flashes of images, impressions, and knowings about loved ones). You need to energy protection like you need air and water.Ready To Protect Your Energy Like A Boss? Tips on Protecting Your Energy: 1. Set intentions around your energetic boundaries: Ask yourself, how do I want to be treated (ex: with respect, love, autonomy, an equal energy exchange, etc.)?*Repeat this affirmation: I am worthy of an equal energy exchange.If there’s anything or anyone in your life that is not in alignment with those intentions, something needs to shift. 2. Avoid negative self-talk: If you’re caught up in it, think of 3 things that you’re so grateful to have right now.3. Serve yourself first before you can help others: Make sure you’re getting enough sleep, water, and nourishment. 4. Stay away from toxic situations and people: If you find yourself stuck in it, find a way to excuse yourself for a second to regroup and protect your energy. Ask yourself, does this person or situation serve my highest good?Who am I to tell you how to protect your energy? Funny you should ask…Aloha! I’m Naomi!
