Has anyone told you that you are overly sensitive or too emotional? Me too! It is said that only 1 to 2% of people in the world are wired like this! Stay with me on this one! There are some ups about being a highly sensitive empath!!

Empaths are highly sensitive people who have a keen ability to sense what people around them are thinking or feeling! On the bright side, we tend to be an excellent friend! We are superb listeners. We consistently show up for those that need us! We are big-hearted and generous! Empaths tend to be highly intuitive and emotionally intelligent! I honestly think these traits have made me a really great hairdresser and I most definitely love my career!!

Why do I write about this today? Well- I came home feeling more depleted than normal. As I regroup I realize what has made me feel so heavy. I woke up to a message from our oldest child about Russia invading Ukraine. Also, in reflecting .. I realize that five of nine clients I had in my chair today are going through some really hard stuff! Not to mention, our desktop checked out yesterday and we struggled through making things happen on an iPad part of today and then some challenges getting our new touch screen desktop up and going!

My best advice to anyone that’s human is self recognition and making it a point to strive for happiness through all the ups and downs! None of us can fully comprehend the experiences that others are going through! Although, we can do our best to relate and be kind!

We can strive to be the best version of ourselves! If we believe things are good and see the good.. more good happens!! If we say and do positive things.. more positive outcomes take place!

So here’s to all you people pleasers (like me) who need to hear this! WE ARE ONLY HUMAN.. we all are entitled to some hard and shitty moments. Get up, dust off and put your best foot forward.. believing the best is yet to come! And for goodness sake.. if you need to hide in your room and have a quiet moment to regroup.. figure out how to make it happen! Life is short.. enjoy the journey- good, bad and different! Life is all an experience we can learn from, if we allow it to guide and teach us.

Stay Rosy, Amber
