#HighlySensitivePeople: Do You Suffer From Analysis Paralysis?

Post category:Decision Making

I know that this is an odd question to ask a highly sensitive person! It’s really not! How often do you take on a task or have to make a decision and worry that you’re going to make a mistake? Does this keep you from doing things? Being the self-conscious and highly sensitive person that I am, I often feel this way.

There was no information about highly sensitive people at that time. I wish there was! It would have made my school years more productive and enjoyable. My objective is to help others learn more about their high sensitivity from my personal experiences. In this way, I can help individuals and parents learn more about themselves so that they can help their highly sensitive children get the most out of themselves. (more…)

#HighlySensitivePeople: How Can You Get The Most Out Of Yourself?

Post category:The Importance of Lifelong Learning

The answer to this question is lifelong learning! As a highly sensitive person, the more I learn, the more I can utilize the good and challenging aspects of myself.

The pursuit of knowledge through lifelong learning, whether it’s learning to play the guitar, speak a foreign language, or prepare a gourmet meal, has wonderful benefits for people of all ages.
