TODAY'S LEARNING
Traits empathic people share

1. Empaths are very sensitive to their environment

People with empathy are inherently very perceptive of their surroundings. Not only can they sense non-physical feelings, but they can also detect minute changes in others. They are also very perceptive and have a profound understanding of the sentiments, motivations, and emotions of others.

Furthermore, empaths are naturally kind, honest, and wonderful listeners. They are trustworthy, compassionate, and capable of providing for others. These wonderful qualities make it easier for empathic people to have their feelings damaged, since they are frequently told they are overly sensitive.

2. Empathic people can absorb emotions and feelings

The ability to feel everything is honed in empaths, sometimes to an extreme degree. Because of this quality, empaths are able to form strong emotional bonds with individuals; but, depending on the people they interact with, this might have negative effects.

Because of their strong social bond, empaths are prone to take on the mood and emotions of everyone they come into contact with. It might be joy and optimism, but it can also be rage or fear, which is extremely draining and harmful to one's mental well-being.

3. In many cases, empaths are introverted

Empaths are frequently introverted people.

Not all introverts are empaths, and not all empaths are introverted. Still, most people stay inside their comfortable social network of close friends and family. People who are empathic tend to like this because it's easy for them to become overwhelmed by strangers or big crowds, which puts them in an unfamiliar environment.

Although, even if an empath is an extrovert, they’ll tend to limit how much time they spend with crowds or unfamiliar people. However, since social contacts can exacerbate their natural tendencies and make them uncomfortable, empaths are usually quite content to be alone themselves.

4. Empaths are intuitive

Most empathic individuals are aware of their emotions and sentiments, which enables them to use their intuition to perceive the outside environment. Because of this characteristic, empaths have an unparalleled gut feeling and will follow their intuition when determining how they feel about a person.

People who are empathic can notice things long before others do, thanks to their intuition. Being an empath is one way this trait can help you prevent mental health issues. You can stay optimistic and content by avoiding those who bring harmful and manipulative energy into your life with the use of your intuition.

5. Empathic people tend to spend time alone

Social interaction can be emotionally and physically taxing for empaths. They particularly experience this when they engage with naive, self-centered individuals, therefore they require time to recuperate from all of this negativity. Time spent alone is the go-to remedy for sensitive folks.

This is to help them get over their exhausted state because it prevents them from experiencing an emotional overload during this little getaway. Because of this characteristic, empaths choose to travel alone rather than in big groups because they have the freedom to decide when to depart and are not dependent on the judgment of others.

6. Intimate relationships can overwhelm empathic people

It's critical for empaths to strike the correct balance. They require personal time, which is the extreme of the range. However, an excessive amount of closeness and close relationships can be challenging and eventually overpowering. Thus, empaths may have a tendency to stay out of close relationships completely.

In reality, their fear of losing their individuality is what keeps them from entering into relationships or from getting too close.

7. The emotionally weak target empathic people

Unfairly, empathy has a bullseye on their back. Since they are sensitive, those who lack emotional stability might take advantage of them, deplete their stamina, and disturb their tranquility. As a result, empathic people become exhausted and, in some cases, inexplicably depressed.

People who lack emotional strength, such as narcissists, pessimists, drama queens, and abusive individuals, can leave empaths feeling unworthy or unlovable.

Removing yourself from these kinds of people is difficult, especially because you will have a large heart. When you notice this happening, do your best to step back and consider the potential negative effects of spending time with them on your mental health for your own wellbeing. Never put yourself at danger just to appease poisonous individuals.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Ayurveda Recipes: Orange Millet Pancake

Sweet, heavy but easy on the belly, 'Orange Millet Pancakes' will leave you feeling grounded and content without burdening digestion. These pancakes break away from the simple flour, eggs and milk combination you may have enjoyed growing up, and replace traditionally difficult to digest wheat flour with a combination of ground almonds and millet.

These pancakes balance Vata and Pitta, but aggravate Kapha. Millet is a lighter grain that doesn't sit heavy in the stomach. Its astringent and slightly diuretic qualities mean it's a better option for Kapha types than wheat, but this recipe is still too heavy and sweet for them. The oiliness of ghee and heaviness of eggs means these pancakes are balancing for Vata, unless the diuretic nature of millet increases the urge to urinate excessively. Sweet and gooey, this recipe soothes and cools an overheated digestive tract, making it most suitable for Pitta types.

Ingredients

1/2 c MAPLE SYRUP

3/4 c ALMONDS

2 tbsp GHEE

2 tbsp RAW SUGAR

1 tbsp ORANGE ZEST

2 whole EGGS

2 c ALMOND MILK

2 whole ORANGE

2 tsp BAKING SODA

1 c MILLET

1/2 tsp CINNAMON

1/2 tsp NUTMEG

Instructions

Notes on Ingredients:

Replace almonds with almond flour.

Replace millet with millet flour.

1. Combine millet flour, almond flour, sugar, baking soda and nutmeg in a large bowl.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and almond milk.

3. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

4. In a non stick pan, heat a little ghee. When very hot, ladle in some pancake mix.

5. Cook for 2-3 minutes until you can see some bubbles rising on the pancake, then flip. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

7. Drizzle over pancakes before serving.
