Self-care for Sensitive Souls
Reconnect with your inner resources
You’re highly intelligent, creative and accomplished, yet you’re easily overwhelmed and stressed. Thanks to our culture’s bias towards being controlled and logical, you may have learned to see that sensitivity as weakness. Sensitivity is out of our rational control. It can make us feel vulnerable, and because it’s not encouraged, we don’t learn how to be with it. As a result we judge our sensitivity and try to suppress it, instead of celebrating it as the gift of caring, empathy and awareness that it is. Is loud noise overwhelming to you? Is time alone every day as essential to you as the air you breathe? Do people call you ‘over-sensitive’? Does it break your heart when you see suffering?
You may be a highly sensitive person – someone who feels intensely and is unusually intuitive, aware and perceptive. Our sensory system is like an antenna, receiving information from our surroundings. Some of us have a body that is naturally more highly tuned to stimuli in our environment – things like bright lights, confusion, strong emotions or energy – that other people barely notice. As a result we may feel easily overloaded and need to retreat. |
