Stop comparing yourself to anyone but you

Today, I am grateful for my ability to recognize when I am impacted by someone else's energy and to pause before I calmly meet them where they are.  I am an empath.  I feel the feelings of others and when I don't realize that is what is happening in a moment, I can become overwhelmed with sudden emotion and react irrationally. 

I am learning how to consciously influence, how to let shit go that is outside the sphere of my impact, and how to clear myself of energy that does not belong to me. 

I accomplished recognizing when I was comparing myself, my progress, my journey to someone else’s as if my growth was “better.”  I was feeling insecure, so I sat with that instead. 

I delighted in dancing with a butterfly, in an awesome yoga practice, and in being honest even in the moments when it was really hard.
