I hope that you’re enjoying your summer and taking time to relax and re-charge your emotional and physical batteries. The summer is a great time to stroll along a quiet beach or to simply take sunset walks through your own neighborhood. As a highly sensitive person, it’s very important that you routinely unwind and maintain a healthy balance in your life.
Another advantage of down time is that it gives you the opportunity for self-reflection, an essential component for setting your future direction. I find it very productive and satisfying when I stop for a moment to gain clarity and consider what I really want out of my life.
To encourage self reflection, you may want to start by asking yourself some questions as you examine different aspects of your life. What do you want to accomplish in the next five years? Are you happy with your career? Are you in a relationship pattern that is satisfying to you? Have you established healthy boundaries with family, friends, or co-workers? Do you look at your high sensitivity as something to be ashamed of, rather than as a personal characteristic that can be beneficial?
As you reflect upon your life, you may discover that you need to make changes, some of which may not be easy. It is important to remember that change is a normal part of life. Things change, and we need to change with the natural flow of things. The more we accept this, the better and less stressful the process will be.
Do you take the time to relax and recharge? I’m interested in any thoughts or comments that you have.
