Here are some of the Top 14 ‘You’re Too’ phrases Highly Sensitive People hear!  We know they drive you crazy, but you’ve been told you’re crazy all you life anyway, right?

 

‘too’ emotional  –  ‘too’ shy  – ‘too’ intense  –  ‘too’ serious  –  ‘too’ moody  –  ‘too’ neurotic  –  ‘too’ idealistic  –  ‘too’ dramatic and oh yeah, let’s not forget the obvious…

You’re Just Too Sensitive!

Of course you’ve heard these all your life.  They don’t make you crazy, they just mean you are a highly sensitive person.

Soul Burnout: Being an HSP in Painful Times

Soul Burnout: Being an HSP in Painful Times

“What is this world coming to?  What has happened to humanity?  I don’t understand…”

These days we are hearing these sentiments from oh so many of our Highly Sensitive Burnout Queens.  The anger, suffering and pain in the world, the apparent lack of love, the disbelief that human beings can be indifferent to each other, and we would add the way some humans treat animals with such disregard, and let’s not forget our poor planet!  Well it makes us all very sad and weary.  Sigh…….

Maybe you are experiencing something similar, a sense of disillusionment, a loss of faith in humanity, the feeling that nothing makes sense anymore.  And you know, all that makes us feel insecure, kind of nervous, anxious and uneasy.  To say it is disappointing is a massive understatement, the international events of the last few weeks leave many of us feeling totally disheartened to say the least!

At times you may feel that there is nothing left to believe in…there is.

We see this as a kind of ‘soul burnout’.  When you are Highly Sensitive it can feel like the weight of the world, the pain of the world, resides within you.   Sometimes you just don’t know what to do with it and end up feeling powerless and, yes, definitely hopeless.  So what can you do?

Well, crowns off to those courageous and bold souls who head off into dangerous places to offer aid and care to both humans and animals in need.  My heart swells with joy and gratitude with the knowledge that such brave individuals exist!  Then there are the rest of us…

We may not be ready to take a heroic stance, but we can live with Everyday Spirituality.  Everyday Spirituality doesn’t have to be big, it doesn’t necessarily encompass grand gestures, it doesn’t even have to be called anything specific with a Capital Letter.  We believe that everyone can embace life and live each and every day with meaning and purpose.   Oh don’t get all worried about ‘finding your purpose’ (that’s way too heady for us!) all you have to remember is to…

Live your life in the pursuit of compassion, kindness, beauty, understanding and love in your own unique way

Shine your HSP light into the world.  Do not live in fear.  Always strive for your Highest Dream regardless of how futile it can sometimes feel in this shocking world.

Imagine. Create. Believe.

Love, Dr Toby & Dr Bev xx

Telegraph story on Highly Sensitive People

Feature articles picHere’s a great article from the Telegraph on what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person.  At the bottom of the article (at the moment I read it) 2.6 million people had already ‘liked it’.

Goodness, the 20% of HSP’s in the population (just in the US) make up a rather large and might I say, creative group.

Never underestimate the power of ‘not so loud’ people in your midst.  We have an important role to play in business, interpersonal relationships and families.

Love, The Burnout Queens (two highly sensitive women and proud to be born as such) xx

PS:  Don’t be shy!  Leave us your comments if you think you are highly sensitive and how it has formed your opinion of yourself.

Outsmarting a Wet Umbrella, HSP Style

umbrella holder

This HSP woman has had enough.

Have you ever been caught out in the rain and then had to stuff your dripping umbrella into your bag before going inside? Yeah, you know what happens after that don’t you?  Everything inside that gorgeous tote gets soaked, soggy, damp and ugly to touch.

Well, I know an HSP woman who solved this dilemma in style. With this simple and really inexpensive trick she no longer leaves her umbrella at the shop door (to get taken) or drops it under her seat to soak the floor.  No this savvy HSP stylist on a recent shopping trip found this brilliant solution. (I would never have thought of this)

This is actually a waterproof bottle holder bought at a kitchen shop for less than £1. Cut off the long strap (or leave it on for style) and it’s set to go.   Cue the rain (which isn’t hard at this time of year).  Now when that darn umbrella gets sopping wet, she puts it inside the waterproof pouch, locks it shut and puts the whole thing in her tote.  When she gets back to the flat out it all comes and the inside of the tote is dry and preserved (no more pool of water at the bottom of the bag, no more diary unreadable, no more fried mobile).  The added bonus is neon colours are easily seen inside the big bag so it’s super easy to find it.

Give it a whirl. It works.  Thanks Dr T (our stylish HSP)
