Things I do to thrive as a highly sensitive person

Your emotions don’t have to feel like a curse.

I used to get stuck and overwhelmed by my emotions so I’d repress them but this only made my depression and anxiety worse.

When I learned how to witness my emotions as information, I realized that my depression and anxiety were telling me that I was unhappy with the way that I was living and that it was time to make lifestyle changes.

The tools I have learned over the years — mindfulness and meditation, journaling, energy healing, being in nature and nourishing my mind, body and spirit have helped me thrive as a highly sensitive person that feels deeply.

Now I can move through painful experiences with spaciousness. I’m able to honor and validate my emotions without needing to repress or avoid them.

Your emotions are just energy in motion. When you don’t allow yourself to express them, you suppress them in your body.

To deny emotions is to deny the ground and vital energy of our life. 🌞

You can learn to create space between you and your emotions so you can witness and honor them as a guide.

You can learn how to regulate your nervous system so you can become more resilient to stress and better able to regulate your emotions.

When we learn to see feelings like waves in the ocean, simply coming and going, playing their role without us becoming attached to them, we can appreciate their beauty and lessons.
