Do you have emotional antennas?🐞
I never liked sleepovers.
I remember lying awake in a sleeping bag
feeling the buzz of every girl in that room.
They were passed out and snoring.
I was buzzing with the energy of
“I just wish I were in my own bed.”
Do you know that feeling?
The “I just want to be HOME” feeling?
I used to think I was a scaredy cat.
a homebody.
an introvert.
These are more digestible words to describe people like us,
who have eyes, ears, and nose, but also emotional antennae 🐜
How do you know you have emotional antennae?
You hear what they don’t say
You feel what they don’t share
You see beneath the facade
You pick up on others feelings before they say a word 🤫
The girl in the sleeping bag next to you.
The parents cleaning up the pizza upstairs, who are clearly fighting.
The kid who says SURE OK! But you feel their body pleading NO!
You hear their energy louder than their words.
Do you respond to what they say or what your antennae hear?
A counselor told me:
“90% of your issues are actually other people’s. When you learn to discern the difference between you versus them, you’ll feel SO MUCH LIGHTER.” 😳
I could never sleep in a room with other people because I didn’t know how to leverage my antennae.
I didn’t know the buzzy feeling that kept me awake until breakfast
was the feeling of my inner sponge 🧽 soaked with too much of others’ water.
I couldn’t hear myself think,
let alone drift off to sleep.
I thought I was riddled with anxiety
but I was just over my head
drowning in everyone else’s stuff.
To be a healer, a mom, a leader
who trusts themselves,
we have to learn to swim to dry land,
to crawl back into our bed,
wrap ourselves in silky sheets
of our frequency 😌
Once we walk ourselves HOME
We’ll feel our BODY relax
We’ll hear the STILLNESS of our own voice
We’ll trust our YES
We’ll hear our NO
And we’ll know what emotions
are no longer (and never were)
ours to carry.
Tap & Ask Yourself
Where do I second-guess myself?
Whose energy, beliefs, or opinions are making my YES hard to hear?
How can I step away from their noise and crawl back HOME to myself?
What would that look like?
What would that take?
Can I take one small step today?
What’s your first step?
May this mini roadmap support you on your journey to break inherited patterns.
The next generation thanks you.
Practice makes peace,
