Love Your Sensitivity

So you've just learned that you are a highly sensitive person. Congratulations! Seriously. I'm glad for you. And although you may have mixed feelings about it, it's okay to be happy too. Even just a little bit.

So what have you done now that you know that you're a highly sensitive person?

When I found out about my trait of being highly sensitive, the first thing I did was install blue light filters on all of my devices. Then I got rid of the unnatural personal care products that made me sick (I don't get along too well with artificial scents). Finally, I basked in how my sensitivity is real, and I'm not alone. It was a wonderful feeling.

However, I didn't fully grasp the daily impact of my sensitivity. I didn't understand how the forces of society clashed with my sensitive nature. I didn't comprehend that life as a high-sensation seeking highly sensitive person (HSS HSP) would lead to so much internal conflict. I didn't recognize how I tended to harbor physical and emotional stress or that I indulged in habits that only numbed or even hid my sensitivity.

Although I knew my sensitivity was something to be proud of, in reality, the way I treated my sensitivity showed that I was holding on to a lot of shame. I had read a lot about being highly sensitive, but I still didn't fully respect it. Unfortunately, for me, it took experiencing a health crisis to truly accept being an HSP.

However, lucky for you, you don't have to experience the pain I did.

In this concise book, I'm sharing the life changes I wish I had made when I discovered that I was an HSP. In Love Your Sensitivity: 7 Essential Life Changes to Make after Learning You're a Highly Sensitive Person, I share advice on how to:

• Release physical and emotional stress
• Stop hiding and undervaluing your sensitivity
• Be authentic about what you personally need as a highly sensitive person
• Make space to rest in a world that wants to keep "hustling"
• Let self-care become a practice of self-healing

Although this is for all HSPs, I've included resources that have helped me to find more stability as a high-sensation seeking HSP as well. I hope this book will help you love your sensitivity in a simple, practical, meaningful way every day.
