A collection of thoughts based on personal experience and perspective

HSP's, empaths, and narcissists all have one thing in common: a sensitivity to the world. They often begin as children who feel deeply, notice the unspoken and who long for connection, safety and love. What happens to that raw sensitivity, though, over time can shape three very different outcomes.

As with anything in life, the HSP may encounter challenges along the way that include overwhelm in busy or noisy environments, sensory overload (lights, sounds, textures, crowds), emotional exhaustion from feeling so much, difficulty with boundaries and saying no and feeling misunderstood or dismissed as “too sensitive”. So how do you care for yourself, or guide an HSP to take care of their sensitive heart and selves?

Choosing presence means I’m there for the small moments, the hard questions, the emotional weather patterns that pass through little bodies trying to make sense of a big world with all it's expectations and that doesn’t always pay in cash but it pays in closeness. Closeness, I said. A currency I refuse to devalue.

You deserve a soundtrack that makes your cells remember who the hell you are.

As adults, it is our responsibility to provide a safe, calm and nurturing environment for our children to grow and develop. Ultimately, I believe, it is their lives and their future, and we must trust in their abilities to pave their own path towards success and fulfillment for them, not for us.

I think this post is more for me than it is for you but I'll let you read it anyway, hee hee! I spend every waking moment in gratitude. Gratitude for people, places and events - especially the one's that leave me feeling challenged. Highly recommended and totally free!

In closing, I feel it relevant to mention that forgiveness is more than just making peace with an event, a person, a group of people and so on. True, deep and meaningful forgiveness means that you make peace with yourself for the discontent that could cost you your sanity in each moment of your precious, human life.

She stressed the importance of reciting these affirmations, daily, looking into the reflection of our eyes. She even went so far as to say that we need 50 affirmations each. 50!!! To top it off, I needed to say them daily. There was no way I was able to come up with 50 affirmations about myself and I sure as shit was not going to look at myself in the mirror every single day saying these things about myself.

When we begin to see that experiencing what happened TO us as something that happened FOR us, that's when you activate the game changer.

This article aims to guide readers on how to shift their perspectives from viewing hardships as obstacles to viewing them as blessings. It emphasizes the power of gratitude and its transformative effect on life.

So, just rehearting you that their behaviour is not who they are, you are not delusional, you most likely have fallen in love with who they are at the core. After all, we see in others a reflection of ourselves. You would not support a friend in losing themselves as a result of behaviour that is not in alignment with their highest, love yourself the same way.

This life that we bitch and moan about, is a miraculous gift and we should be embracing every f*cking breath and creating unforgettable memories because let's not forget that we come to earth naked and we leave the same.
