Self Care: Empaths and the Coronavirus

Hey Project Empath community, this my practice run. My name is Kat, short for Katrina. And I am the Empathic or the Empath Manager. I just wanted to say hi to everyone. This is my first time. But something compelled me, something called from my heart to do this video out there for everyone who’s an empath because it’s a crazy time, we are amidst a pandemic, a global phenomenon that would be considered by a lot probably as a negative occurrence around the world.
So why am I doing this? I figured that it is a time for mental well-being. It is a time for mental health. And because of that as one empath to the global community of empaths, I figured I would reach out. So, what I’m going to do today is do just very quick introduction of myself, just what I try to do. And beyond that I am going to just give three quick tips as an empath as to how we can thrive in the current global climate if you will.
So, I’ll do the introduction first. My name is Kat. I’m a self-confessed and not just a self-diagnosed but a justified or a proven to be empath. And I have been a manager for about seven years. I have been a people manager. And being an empath and a people manager has provided me with wonderful opportunities and also some cutting lessons about my nature and how I can succeed and be helpful given my gifts. That is what I’m about. What compelled me to do this video? We are in a special time so I figured just tips and tricks would be helpful for everyone who is an empath like myself.

Tip #1 during this pandemic of COVID-19 or the coronavirus is self-love, self-nurturing and the search for well-being. So, if you’re an empath then you would realize that you need some of your alone space so this is a good opportunity for a loan space. However, it might be time for too much alone space which is not good as human being. So, tip number one would be to still find social connections even though you cannot always be physically present amongst other people. How do you do this? It’s probably one of the good uses of social media, being able to reach out to others and to connect. We are human beings and by that very nature, we need to be connected with others, we need to nurture relationships even though this is probably not the best time to be physically present with others.
Tip #2 would be to limit you’re watching of the news. It is a time that people seem to be obsessed with finding out what’s going on. That is fair. You want to know what is the latest and greatest with this pandemic. However, I would caution you because given our nature as empaths, absorbing a lot of that negative energy can be amplified within us and could cause spirals. It’s bad enough for some people who were not empaths to go through this. But your powers of empath is your manifestation, absorption and sharing of energy. And absorbing too much negative energy at once can create a vortex within you. And that negative energy vortex can touch other pieces of your life. And do you really want that for yourself? So, number two would be moderate your watching of the news.
And my tip for empaths during the pandemic, tip #3 would be to have fun. I know it’s out of the box. It’s probably not what you expected. It’s probably in line with tip number one which is self-care. Try to find things that you’ve been trying to do for a long time now but haven’t had the time to do so. Read your books. Maybe find a hobby that you can do at home. Dwell on self-improvement. Educate yourself. And basically, you know that little list that you had in the back of your head for items that you’ve always wanted to do if you could only be at home and be settled for enough time without having to run around, this is your opportunity. This is it!
Be kind to yourself.
Remember to practice self-love and self-nurture.
So, those are my three tips. To round out again, number one, concentrate on self-love. Number two, don’t watch too much of news. And number three is have fun and get into that list that you’ve always wanted to do. Now you’ll have the time. Now you’ll have the space within your home to go and revel.
I hope you guys enjoyed this. I hope you guys think that this is useful. And signing off, this is my first video of all time. And be healthy and be wealthy. Thank you.
