"There is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain."

REMINDER: Doing your best doesn't mean pushing yourself to breaking point. Your best means the best you can do while taking care of yourself. And that means, *AT MINIMUM*, eating well, time to recharge - and to play! – getting enough sleep, and being kind to yourself. 💜

“A non-sensitive temperament will walk into a room and pick up 50 pieces of information. A sensitive person will walk into a room and get 500 pieces of information. So is there any question as to why highly sensitive people get overstimulated really quickly?”

~ Alanis Morissette

FILL IN THE BLANK: If I could change one thing about being highly sensitive, it would be ______________.

I either keep it all inside or say exactly how I feel with no filter. There is no in between. #infj

GENTLE REMINDER: The longer you allow a toxic situation to persist in your life, the longer it will take you to recover from it.

1. Create a running list of things that feel blissful to you (and be sure to include some that are quick and easy).
2. Make sure to give yourself something from your "bliss list" each and every day.

Simple practice. Life-changing results. ✨✨✨

In a dysfunctional family, the "black sheep" is usually the person who sees what others can't (or won't).

The most emotionally sensitive and aware.

And they are often the one who is ready to feel and heal old wounds, rather than let them pass on to the next generation.

If, during childhood, your emotional needs were often neglected and your boundaries violated, you grew up with those things feeling normal to you. And that means that if they happen in your adult relationships they don't feel like the red flags they are. They just feel familiar.

"True narcissists lack the ability to empathise with the feelings + needs of others. In fact many narcissists even lack the ability to truly see anyone else as a separate human with their own feelings and needs. To them, people are just sources of supply." https://t.co/lDSyyFmamS

Highly sensitive people are born with Sensory Processing Sensitivity – a heightened sensitivity of the nervous system. It means they more deeply "feel" everything – from physical stimuli to emotions to intuitive hits. Only 15-20% of the population is born with this gift. ✨ #HSP

Being highly sensitive and empathetic is a beautiful gift but if we don't also have strong boundaries, it's a painful way to be in the world. But WITH strong boundaries? THAT'S when sensitivity becomes a superpower!

We can't wait for this movie: Sensitive and in Love. Dr. Elaine Aron, the first to describe the trait of high sensitivity, says that it's "necessary for everyone in any kind of close relationship, or wanting to be, whether you are highly sensitive or not.” @SensitiveMovie #hsp

Often your body will signal an energetic yes or no long before your conscious mind has worked it out. Trust it!

"There is no energy more powerful than love. Love creates miracles, heals all wounds, and purifies all lower energies."

"It takes more courage to surrender than to numb. So often the most ‘damaged’ people are actually the most advanced and feeling souls. They feel everything and are more strongly impacted by the disparity between an authentic life and the falsified energy of the world." Jeff Brown
