Embracing positivity as a Highly Sensitive Person
Have you ever found yourself defaulting to negative thoughts and emotions, especially as a highly sensitive person?
You’re not alone. In this episode, we explore the intriguing connection between high sensitivity and a tendency towards negativity. Drawing from a 2023 study by Van Reyn, we delve into the science behind why highly sensitive individuals may experience more frequent and intense negative emotions.
Key Highlights:
- Understanding the Link: Discover the findings of a recent study that connects sensory processing sensitivity with emotional reactivity.
- Personal Reflections: I share my own journey from pessimism to a more balanced emotional state, and how growing up in a family with a negative outlook impacted my mindset.
- Curiosity Over Judgment: Learn why approaching our emotions with curiosity rather than judgment can make a significant difference.
- Practical Tips for Positivity: Get actionable advice on activities that can help shift your perspective.
Tune in to gain valuable insights and practical tips to help you navigate your emotions and improve your overall well-being.
New Masterclass:
I also mention the new masterclass which is coming on the 4th June 2024. We will be focusing on people-pleasing tendencies in highly sensitive individuals. We’ll cover why setting boundaries is so challenging and how to establish nurturing boundaries without guilt or shame.
