Many highly sensitive and introspective people are very good at changing their beliefs… …but much slower at changing their habits. You may truly believe:“I deserve to state my needs.” You may agree completely. And yet, when the moment comes… You stay quiet.You don’t ask.You don’t speak up. Not because you’re weak.

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Are you asking the wrong questions about your life?

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Are you asking the wrong questions about your life? As highly sensitive people and introverts, we tend to ask a lot of questions.But more questions don’t automatically lead to better answers. Here’s the uncomfortable possibility:Sometimes we’re asking the wrong questions—the ones that keep us thinking, but not changing. The right questions are rarely comforting.They don’t reassure us.They challenge our habits, our patterns, and the stories we’ve been telling ourselves. My unconventional view?Self-awareness doesn’t begin with insight.It begins when we stop asking questions that protect us—and start asking questions that expose us.

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Do you really need to control your thoughts–or understand them better?

#HighlySensitivePeople #Introverts: Do you really need to control your thoughts—or understand them better? As highly sensitive people, many of us were taught to “think positive.”But that advice often misses the point. The real work isn’t controlling your thoughts.It’s learning how to stop letting them control you. In uncertain times, your mind can become your harshest critic—or your quiet ally. And for sensitive, introspective people, the inner world is powerful. When it turns against us, it can feel exhausting. Here’s the unconventional truth I’ve learned:You don’t gain strength by fighting your thoughts—you gain it by examining them. Instead of asking, “How do I stop this thought?” try asking:• Is this thought actually helping me?• Is it protecting me—or just scaring me?• What would a calmer perspective…
