As an empath I take on others pain and the burden of the world’s problems.  It’s a blessing as a coach but not always easy to manage as an individual.  I usually try to shield myself from the daily horrors.  I have found that being aware of the events is enough for me.  Delving into the details can bring great sorrow, anger and frustration.  I had a rough morning last week.  I was taking on world problems again.  While I was struggling, I was being sent a familiar message in many different forms.  There are many things that are out of my control, but I can affect the world by the choices I make with the people who surround me.  I get to practice kindness, love and healing everyday.  Those energies then vibrate throughout, and are what will eventually bring a shift in consciousness. I am grateful for this centering message.  I am shifting my focus from what I don’t want, to what I want and have the ability to change.  What are you carrying with you that you feel powerless to change, and how can you shift your focus?
