#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.

I have found that worrying too much about results weakens me and makes me less efficient. It’s so energy draining! I used to have the bad habit of thinking that everything in life depends on how “one thing” turns out. Can you relate to this? (more…)

#HighlySensitivePeople: Is The Education System As Good As It Can Be?

Post category:The Importance of Lifelong Learning

It’s been a long time since I was in school! I wasn’t a good student. As a highly sensitive person, the education system was very difficult for me. I was afraid to go to school because I felt that I was being watched and criticized all of the time. I didn’t feel comfortable in a group setting. I did my best on individual projects where I could work alone on assignments. Can you or your children relate to this?

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: Do You Love Your Highly Sensitive Self?

Post category:Perfectionism Self Awareness

As Valentine’s Day approaches, do you take the time to appreciate the good qualities that you have? I know that this is the time to spread the love to others, but where does love truly start?

Think about it. When do you feel the most loving towards others? It’s when you feel good about yourself. When you are happy, you are much more inclined (and able) to give more of yourself to the people who you love. Self-love gives you clarity, patience, and the desire to share your joy. You are also better able to leverage your HSP instincts to anticipate what others need. (more…)
