7 TIPS TO OVERCOMING STRUGGLES & EMBRACING YOUR UNIQUE DIFFERENCES
Know you’re unique, as well as struggling with extra sensitivities. Own both parts.
Accept, allow, and accommodate the areas where you’re sensitive (hearing, sight, touch, emotions, etc.), but don’t allow your sensitivities to control your life.
eg. If you struggle with focus, a decluttered environment and hanging around good people can make a big difference.
Manage your sensitivities with self-love and a sense of worth, rather than panic.
Know that you’ll always have heightened sensitivity. You’ll always see more of the potential of life than most, be more sensitive and get more overwhelmed than others. Be on top of your strengths so you can accentuate them, and identify your struggles, so you can manage them.
Inject humor and fun into all you do. Laughter really is the best medicine and brings perspective to intense emotion.
When you focus on your strengths rather than your weakness everything changes!
Treat yourself with extreme kindness and self-worth every day.
