How to Help Others Without Getting Sucked In

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired, fed up with getting your energy drained? Do you sometimes feel that no matter what you do, you get dragged down by drama?

Whether we’re watching the news or meeting a friend, we’re all subject to heavy mojo… bad news… big emotions. And if we’re not properly trained how to handle it, Life can get us down.

We all carry enough of our own baggage as it is—who wants to carry someone else’s? The truth is, we no longer need to take on the pains of the world. We can help bring peace and love without the heavy burden. We don’t need to take on other’s suffering. We can help others get through their experience without stressing out. We don’t have to make other people’s problems our own—even if our purpose involves helping people get out of trouble.

In this episode, the Soul Talk Guys welcome Emotional Resilience expert Kristen Richardson back to the Life Mastery TV stage. Kristen is a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a private mental health practice; she deals with many suffering humans every single day.

Kristen sees many of her fellow Mental Health Practitioners dealing with burnout on a regular basis—and some of them even wind up quitting their much-needed professions. By basing her practice in Loving Compassion, Kristen proves every day that you can deeply help others without taking on their stuff.

If you want to learn how to help others—that is, to expand your desire to serve—without getting sucked in, then you’ll want to watch the video for this episode. If you’ve ever had a friend who’s drained you, a family member who has wiped you out, or a client who seemed determined to drown you, give yourself a big break and check it out!

It’s interesting how the things closest to us are sometimes the least understood.

This is especially true for the mystery of how we feel, and it turns out that—quite literally—feelings are not what you THINK!

Most of us are pretty poorly trained on how things like fear, desire and worry impact our thought processes. And there’s a pretty good chance that you received even less instruction on how your emotions interact with your thoughts to create your life. Yet thinking and feeling—two completely separate, but inter-related processes—are pivotal in the success and happiness you experience.

As discussed in previous shows, we humans are highly influential creatures having the unique ability to create desirable outcomes and change life situations whenever we choose to.

Through the power of free will, what we think and feel leads to what we do, and what we do leads to our results. Our own experience proves that when we put both our minds and hearts into something, we are pretty hard to stop from creating what we want to create.

Given that our creative thoughts and emotions have such a huge impact on our lives, it would seem imperative for us to work on really understanding how we think and how we feel, don’t you agree? Yet most of us rarely consider the creative power within us, no less pay attention to what’s influencing our decisions. And what’s worse, many of us think we can process our feeling simply by thinking about them! And that’s where things can really get messed up.

So just ask yourself:

• Do you really feel your feelings?
• Are you truly in touch with your emotions and how they influence your life?
• Have you perhaps shut down part of your emotional system and now rely on your brain to make decisions your energy system was meant to handle?

Tough questions!

If you would like to find some answers, join Tommy & David this week as we explore the difference between feeling our feelings and thinking our feelings.

It’s a critical distinction you don’t want to miss.
