#HighlySensitivePeople: Are You Feeling Frazzled?

Post category:Anxiety Challenge and Conflict Stress

I know that this is a silly question to ask highly sensitive people! Feeling Frazzled? Do you think about too many things at one time? Does your ability to concentrate and focus seem compromised? Are you easily overwhelmed?

Many of us (myself included) would answer “yes” to these questions. Since highly sensitive people process and absorb more emotional and physical information than average, these feelings are very common. Left unchecked, they can become road blocks to a peaceful and productive life. (more…)

#HighlySensitivePeople: Do You Love Your Highly Sensitive Self?

Post category:Goal Setting Personal Transformation

With 2021 here, you may be reminiscing about events that happened in 2020 or anticipating what lies ahead this year. Like the start of a New Year, our lives are marked by many different changes. There are career and job transitions that we may have to think about as a result of an unpredictable economy. Relationships may change or end, by our choice or not, and we may need to move on. A loss of a loved one is particularly stressful and may give us a negative outlook on life. Transitions evoke strong emotions such as anxiety, rejection, curiosity, excitement, anticipation, fear, anger, and loss. The way we have experienced beginnings and endings earlier in our lives profoundly influences the way we experience them later…
