Developing Your Professional Empathy

Feeling disconnected these days? Or perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed! Or angry! Or bored. Or maybe just a wee bit guilty, because you are doing pretty good…considering everything. 

Whatever you are feeling, it’s important to really connect with your emotions in an authentic way. When you take a moment to acknowledge your feelings and allow yourself to truly be with them, you are more likely to process them productively. Ideally, you send a little love and compassion to yourself…because life and work is extra hard right now, no matter your situation. Through love and compassion, you engage in empathy. Having empathy towards yourself will lead you to have more empathy towards others.

Empathy is defined as the ability to share and understand the feelings of others. Empathy will help you connect to others where they are. Right now, this is such an important skill when so many people are feeling out of control and out of sorts.

I know! You don’t like to feel those uncomfortable emotions because well….they’re uncomfortable! We often take challenging emotions and hide them from ourselves. Feeling is one of the second (sacral) chakra goals and water is the second chakra element.

Emotions, like water, can be soft and soothing like sitting in the warmth of a hot spring, or they can be hard and destructive like a tsunami wave. When we block our emotional flow, they often go underground – at least for awhile. It’s not uncommon for difficult emotions to surface and come out sideways at family, co-workers or the dog. So, what is your emotional landscape right now?

As a professional, you need to be able to navigate the uncertain emotions in yourself and others. People are in a variety of situations. Their emotional needs will vary greatly depending on their circumstances. When you take responsibility to process your emotions, you are more likely to stay neutral and grounded in the midst of other’s emotional storms. When neutral, you will have the capacity to share in and understand the feelings of others. In other words, you will have the emotional space to feel empathy.

Here are 10 ways to help balance your second chakra, and find empathy in the midst of the emotional storms.

Acknowledging, allowing and processing your authentic feelings will help you develop the empathy needed to lead others to find productive ways of working with their own uncomfortable emotions.

Sending all of you love, blessings, and empathy.
