If you’re a current or recovering people pleaser like me, you might have been faced with the unsettling reality of blurred boundaries at one point or another. As a people pleaser, it’s common to blend your energy with someone else’s. The result? You or the other person’s boundaries are crossed and confusion ensues. Similarly, if you identify as being an empath, it's common to take on others’ feelings and emotions as your own. This can also lead to codependency and resentment in relationships. Believe me, I've been there.
So, how can we begin to repair and come back into our own?
Becoming familiar with your own energy, wants, needs, and desires is the first step. Often as people pleasers and empaths, we override our own needs in order to satisfy someone else and we’re left feeling depleted because we over gave or did something we didn’t actually want to do. Sound familiar?
In our next Heart-led Creator Club class we will practice being in our own energetic bubble, visualize what that may look like, and transform it into art. We’ll consider what you want to let in and keep out of your personal boundary bubble.
You’ll leave this class feeling nourished and reminded of who you are on the inside, so that you can begin to trust yourself and be more confident to express your own needs and desires on the outside.
You do not need to have any experience with art to benefit from this class!
