I grew up hyper-aware, always scanning people’s emotions to stay safe. That hyperawareness eventually turned into hypersensitivity — I felt everything, mine and others.

Sensitivity is a gift.
But without boundaries, it becomes a burden.

Everything changed when I learned to differentiate:

What is my emotion?
What is someone else’s?

And from there:

• channeling emotions instead of reacting
• staying grounded when others are chaotic
• maintaining energetic separation
• expressing instead of absorbing

When you feel emotionally activated, pause and ask:

Is this mine?

If yes — express it through writing, movement, breath, creativity.
If not — detach from it and let it pass through.

When you respond from clarity instead of intensity, you become unshakeable.

This is emotional discipline.
This is sovereignty.

So the next time you feel activated, will you absorb it — or will you choose sovereignty?

Trusting it will bring some light to someone’s shadow,
