HSP woman wants to build a wall

March 2, 2016

Yes I do, I want to build a wall!

Please don’t confuse me with that guy running for US president, but I actually do want to build a wall. You see, there’s just too much going on these days, and it’s driving me crazy. It’s grating on my nerves, making me irritable, and generally intruding on all my senses.

So what’s going on you ask? Open plan living! You know living, dining, terrace and kitchen all-in-one. Very hip, very modern, very NOW. So when I initially saw my new flat I was excited with possibilities. In my zest to decorate the space in my head, I neglected to consider how noisy it might become.

When I clock off work, I’m ready for my evening to begin. As a highly sensitive woman, there’s nothing more soothing than a little dim lighting, low hum and watching a bit of television while I get dinner. Well, my gorgeously decorated open living space doesn’t deliver…I want to build a wall!

As a highly sensitive woman yourself, can you guess where I’m going with this? The gas stove is on (noise), the fan for the stove is on (noise), the fridge is opening and closing (noise), the dinner is being prepared, chop, chop, chop (more noise), the water is being poured into saucepans (double noise), the microwave is beeping (noise) and the television is on (turned ever higher to actually hear the news or show, making it noise over the top). And don’t even get me started on the Burnout Pups playing ball, barking and generally under foot because work is done and playtime is NOW for them (and I’m not even going to start with the noise of after-dinner cleanup and the dishwasher)!

Humming, banging, barking, bright lights, clanking pots and running water… my now over-aroused and jangled system yearns for that beautifully quiet evening of rest and relaxation.

Suffice to say open plan living for this highly sensitive woman is not a match made in heaven. So I want to build a wall and call the space on the other side ‘my kitchen’. Old fashioned maybe, quiet most definitely!

Anyone else feel my pain?!?

Burnout Pups have style too!

February 23, 2016

Well, This little miss just turned 6 years old! She has style that’s for sure…she wouldn’t be one of The Burnout Pups if she didn’t. The neck scarf just can’t be worn around the neck, no no no, she’s too creative for that.

If you belong to The Realm of The Burnout Queens you have to be creative and quirky, so any neck attire automatically becomes a scarf. She has seen so many pictures of the real Queen to know her fashion.

Being the little nervous pup she is (a true HSP because they exist in the animal world) the ‘cute’ factor always hides her nerves and hood-winks admirers into thinking she’s very bold. It seems to work for her. Wonder what we can find to hide the nerves and show the boldness we truly possess!

Here’s to the birthday girl and teaching us style can be uniquely bold! xx

Love, The Burnout Queens xx

A gift of love from The Burnout Queens

February 14, 2016

On today of all days, The Burnout Queens want to share the love we send to our members inside The Realm! Each week they receive a special postcard that encourages them to cultivate a better life. And we don’t stop there, they get their weekly assignment to put that concept to good use. Change is happening in such a beautiful way for these women, we just thought today we would reach out to all our community to share this special postcard.

Here’s your copy and if you find it enriching we hope it will entice you to join us. When you register you immediately join a creative group of women from Germany, New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Canada and Brazil, all waiting to welcome you to The Realm! Join us by clicking here: The Realm!

Hello Darlings!

Are you ready to fall in love with yourself? Can you find all your little quirky imperfections endearing? Will you hang on your every word with respect and interest, be absorbed in your dreams, laugh at your own jokes and treat yourself with the same gentleness you would treat another love?

When you fall in love with yourself you open your heart, you listen to your soul and you feel connected to who you truly are. Begin this journey today. Don’t wait to fall in love with yourself ‘if or when’ and definitely don’t wait till Monday to start!

Fall in love with who you are now and not who you would like to be…sometime…when you have time.

Here’s your weekly assignment:

Write yourself a love note, what you admire in yourself, what you love about your looks, your life, your being. How you look forward to your relationship growing and deepening.

Be special to yourself: buy yourself chocolates or your favourite flowers or make your favourite breakfast to leisurely enjoy. Have a bubble bath and love your body. Take yourself to the theatre, read poetry or listen to music that makes your soul soar…or dance!

Draw a Heart, then write your name in it. Paste it on your mirror and then every morning this week go ahead and say it,

“I’m falling in love with you!”

Love, The Burnout Queen xx

Well did you love our special love note? Of course, our members will be sharing their hearts and success inside The Realm in our private facebook group. Can’t wait to see all the photos with creative ‘hearts on the mirrors’ that I know they will share.

We’ll be sharing our hearts, won’t you join us too? (Click here to receive instant membership). Joining The Realm will make your feel special, supported and celebrated by all our members who are actively and I might add impressively enriching their lives.

See you inside and Happy Valentine’s Day from The Burnout Queens xx
