It’s Not Easy Being Sensitive These Days!

For sensitive people, shifts can feel monumental.

And it’s SO easy to get trapped in a worried, anxious mind. But I think we’ve spent enough time there, haven’t we? Covid has asked our bodies to slow down, yet our minds keep racing into a fearful future or a non-existent past.

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a shift to get out of the “shoulds, what-if’s, I can’t, what’s next” mind and return to actually being here?

Mindfulness is great, but what I’m practicing now is simple and even more powerful.

Here’s the shift:

Old way New Way

Busy Present

Values Achievement Feeling good is the priority

Work harder Quality of relationships

Competition Collaboration together

Push through Listening to my body

Doing Being

Intelligence Wisdom

Judging Openness to seeing everything

Accumulation of wealth Re-evaluation of priorities

Power Empathy and inclusiveness

In shifts like this, we often know very well what we don’t want anymore…

anxiety

fear

exhaustion

pain

And here’s the thing: It hurts on the way out, hence the explosion of ugliness we might see around us. Things that had been held under the surface in tension for so long have to be released and they look like problems.

But what DO you want and can you move towards that?

Curiously, when what you DO want gets centre stage,the annoyances, irritations, and pain often take a back seat.

What do you value so much that you can make it centre stage of your life and move towards that?

As empaths, we get guarded and protective about life and so we should.

But the magic happens when we’ve lived there long enough in isolation and yearn for something more open, more connected, more…

I can’t wait to move with you from mind to body,

From stress to peace,

From “I should” to “I am”,

From scared to safely saying “YES” to life!

It’s time. Hope to see you there!

Honesty as Treatment for Pain and Suffering

May 31, 2023

“What’s wrong with a little white lie?” You have probably heard that, or said it yourself. A little lie never hurt anyone. That might be true in some cases, and this is not a moralistic issue here, it’s a health issue. We have ALL learned to lie. To ourselves, to
