#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…)

#HighlySensitivePeople: Do You Have Something To Be Excited About?

Post category:Self Awareness

As highly sensitive people, it’s essential that we feel a sense of purpose, especially in these troubled times. We may talk endlessly about what our mission in life is, but not come up with answers. The best clue is to explore what excites you.

As for me, I’m excited! I look forward to writing more of these blog posts, providing HSP Email coaching, updating a book that I wrote fourteen years ago about my life as a highly sensitive person and the lessons that I’ve learned, and finishing a book on confidence. And above all, I appreciate your support and all the interactions I have with people who follow my work.
