Are you a highly sensitive person?

Do you consider yourself a deep thinker and feel things much more intensely than others?

There are certain instances in life, where sensitive people can only understand.

Highly sensitive people are usually more perceptive, empathetic and very self-aware than others.

They often suffer from the problem of frequent emotional exhaustion. Sometimes, being emotionally sensitive help them to get advantages that may not get in a normal stage.

Sensitivity often allows you the ability to cope with difficult situations, deal with stress, and overcome the odds.

Sensitivity is often seen as a weakness in our culture.

We often show our feelings, both good and bad, leaving others to think we’re overreacting and the intensity of our feelings can convince them we’re just not coping well.

However, high sensitivity gives us the ability to be strong, capable and thriving, even in the face of adversity.

It’s always good to check in with yourself. Self care is a crucial step to success. Check in with those you love and never forget to check in with yourself. The soul desires freedom and expression,it wants to create for the pleasure of creating,it wants to be fed with joy and happiness. The soul is pure in everyone and everything,if listened to it will guide you to all the right things at the right time,even in times of hardship.

For so many of us the word “No” is one of the hardest words to say, because of the feelings it influences.

This mindset would be considered people pleasing and being a “yes” person. We all need to create boundaries on our time.

If saying “no” is not natural for you, you’re a pleaser. You don’t like to disappoint people, hurt their feelings, or be rude.

It’s important to establish boundaries, and do what’s best for ourselves in those given situations. The more this thought process is practiced, the easier it becomes to overcome the challenge of letting others down. Mental and physical health must be a priority.

Habits shape our lives far more than you realize. Part of living a happy and healthy life is transforming your knowledge or inspiration into a daily habit. A habit is something that you do daily without really thinking about it. Creating good habits and leaving behind bad habits may feel like an impossible task, but when it truly matters and you want to reach for your goals, and evolve, you will rid yourself of bad habits, because it’s too risky to engage in self sabotaging behavioral patterns. We all have a choice in how to live life, and the solution to living a good life, is to adjust our daily routines to promote more happiness and effect strategies to better ourselves. Habitual behaviors are the only way to build a momentum that leads to winning.

Self-love and self-compassion are keys to living a fulfilling, happy, beautiful life. 

When you don’t love yourself, you simply don’t give yourself the care and compassion you need and deserve.

When you don’t feel worthy of love, you don’t give it to yourself.   When you equate self-love with narcissism, you don’t love yourself either.

Your behavior is always a lesson for others.   When you’re loving others and not loving yourself, you’re showing them that self-neglect is okay. 

We teach others how to behave through how we behave. When we model self-love, we show others how to express self-love in their own lives.

Generosity is giving and sharing. It is giving freely because you want to, not with the idea of receiving a reward or a gift in return.

Generosity is being aware that there is plenty for everyone.

It is seeing a chance to give what you have and then giving just for the joy of giving. It is one of the best ways to show love and friendship. When we give freely, especially if a sacrifice is involved, our spirit grows strong.

When one is person is generous, other people want to be generous too. It makes the world a better place for everyone. You never know how your acts can brighten someone else’s day, so why not give? It’s what makes life a blessing. We must first be a blessing, in order to receive blessings.

What defines happiness within our life? We’ve all gone over this question, each and every day, because it’s such a mystery. True happiness is about what speaks to your soul, what lights a fire from within, what influences smiles and laughter. The beauty of creating long lasting memories is what keeps us happy. If anyone out there is experiencing an overwhelming amount of hardships, understand that these days won’t be forever. Soon enough, your abundance will roll through and all of the dark moments will be a distant memory. It’s not the hardship that defines us, but the ways in which we react to them is what determines the future. There’s no real strength or progress without adversity, so be your own hero and set the balance, create the change that’s needed, and never lose hope in yourself. ⁣

Understanding your own energy is important.

Stop and think of the climate. Mental health is a priority. Stress is at an all time high. Anxiety and fear is within us day in and day out.

We are constantly living in fight or flight mode.

As individuals we need to start figuring out how we can live by learning to manage our emotions, manage our thoughts and manage our reactions so we can begin to live more emotionally healthy as individuals and society.
