Highly Sensitive People: Are you focused and committed?

Post category:Concentration and Focus Important Life Skill

Are you focused and committed? Are you the type of person that makes the most of every moment? If so, you probably have a positive attitude and are happy. If not, then you might need to adjust your focus and attention. I’ve found that I needed to focus my energies on something productive that I was passionate about to cut out the distractions that were draining me and making me less productive.

Too many people spend time worrying about what will happen next month, or next year, or worse, they keep living in the past. Can you relate to this? I definitely can! When this happens it means that I’m not making the most of what I’m doing in the present moment. (more…)

Highly Sensitive People: Are Long-Lasting Quality Relationships Possible?

Post category:Friendship & Relationships

I'm happy to say that it's definitely possible! Today my wife and I are celebrating our 42nd Wedding Anniversary! You don't have to be married 42 years to have a loving, supportive, and satisfying relationship, but I want to emphasize that you can have the relationship that you desire. It's hard to believe how fast times goes by. Many wonderful things have happened, such as the birth of our daughter, the great family experiences, the joy we received from our many pets, and the personal triumphs that my wife and I had. There were difficult times when we had family problems, personal tragedies, financial difficulties, and bouts of getting on each other's nerves! Full disclosure....My wife is much easier to get along with than I…

Highly Sensitive People: Where can you find other HSPs?

Post category:Friendship & Relationships

I got many comments about my post last week, about men posing with dogs, not theirs, to attract women under false pretentious. I’ve been asked how normal and honest highly sensitive people can meet for friendships, romance, or both! Can any of you relate to this dilemma?

I’ve been out of the dating scene for many years. Next week, my wife and I will be married 42 years! I can only make an educated guess!

Well, highly sensitive people are everywhere, generally speaking, but not likely in certain venues.

If you work or attend classes or go to meetings, some of the people there would be HSPs. Your next-door neighbor could be a HSP. They may not even know they are HSPs, but they usually know they are different from other people. They don’t wear signs (it’s not advisable to call undue attention to oneself). (more…)

Highly Sensitive People/Introverts: Where were you on 9/11/01?

Post category:Grief Important Life Skill Resilience

Where were you on 9/11/01? I realize that some of you weren’t born or lived in another country, but I felt compelled to summarize the events that happened that day to tell you the important lessons that I learned. This is a question that many of us may be contemplating on yet another sad anniversary of that fateful day. It’s hard to believe all the years that have passed since that beautiful sunny day when the skies suddenly filled with fire and smoke, buildings collapsed, and people were running for their lives.

I was in Jersey City, New Jersey. The weather was perfect, and it seemed like it was going to be a normal and pleasant day. At 8:45 am, all of that changed. I heard on my car radio that a World Trade Center building had been struck by an airplane. (more…)
