Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem, and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy?

Setting an achievable goal also boosts your systolic blood pressure (SBP).

However, it wouldn’t surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different.

Here’s why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you “should be” doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feeling like you’re trudging through mud – with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to use your highly sensitive strength of intuition to consistently set – and reach – doable goals that will give you an ongoing boost to your systolic blood pressure and keep you motivated and ready to take action.

Our highly sensitive strength of empathy helps us relate and connect deeply with others, giving us the ability to inspire and empower their lives.

Yet, it’s common to disconnect from empathy as a strength due to the limiting beliefs we’ve developed from past unconscious training. Just because you can imagine or understand how another person is feeling, doesn’t mean you’re responsible for that feeling.

Join me as I share a hot take on empathy versus sympathy and how you’re actually meant to use it as one of your highly sensitive strengths. Learn to lead with empathy, in service to fulfilling your business and life mission as a highly sensitive entrepreneur and leader.

“We have the ability to be empathetic as a strength without the automatic trigger of the empath mirror neuron response.” – Heather Dominick

“When you are caught in perfectionism you are preoccupied with yourself even when you try to convince yourself that you are focusing on someone else.” – Heather Dominick

Today I talk about how to expand your mindset. Growing up as a highly sensitive person, most of us weren’t taught how to effectively work with a nervous system that overstimulates so quickly and easily. As a result, we often default to what I call “either/or thinking”.

“Either it’s perfect OR it’s a disaster.”

Sound familiar?

Either/Or thinking is a learned behavior as a result of missed attempts to manage anxiety. And a very common experience for those of us who are highly sensitive.

This means – Good News Alert! – it can also be unlearned.

In this podcast episode, I’m sharing how to unravel yourself and expand your mindset from limited either/or thinking to access a both/and mindset instead – opening up a whole new world of possibilities and creative solutions.

“Either/Or thinking is the opposite of the process of re-return and recommitment.” – Heather Dominick

“Developing a both/and mindset has been proven via research that it is learnable and possible at any age.” – Heather Dominick
