glimpse on the life of an hsp (highly sensitive person)
Updated: Aug 11, 2020
hi there precious sensitives!
you're here, maybe because you were researching how to navigate life as a highly sensitive person, or maybe, you have a highly sensitive person in your life.
regardless why you're here, the truth is, universe did find a way that we meet.
hi, i'm van and a highly sensitive person.
you may or may not know that being a highly sensitive has nothing to do with how one is emotional - that can be a byproduct of our experiences here on earth but that is not what it is all about.
being an hsp is a trait. we were born with a more sensitive central nervous system and therefore, the way we process stimulation such as weather, sounds, light or anything to do with the 5 senses, is much more intense than a non hsp. as a result, most hsps are almost all the time overstimulated, and that's the reason that most hsps find it hard to thrive in life.
overstimulation is our #1 problem.
and as a result of being overstimulated, it's hard to recognize what part of that big ball of stimulation is ours or not.
so, if you are an hsp; recognize this, you are overstimulated about 99% of the time - especially if you're not taking care of yourself.
so take good care of yourself, so that you can care for others.
because i know, deep down inside, you are generous and you always want to give.
give to yourself first before you can give to others.
till next time precious sensitives,
~van
