 Emotionally Motivated

We can live without our thinking brain, but will die without our emotional brain. Listen to those first emotions, for the body never lies. Then do thoughtful diligence, because we often lie to ourselves.

Take what works, discard what doesn’t.
We're all unique.

Introvert Power

8/11/2018

 
Picture
Author Susan Cain may have written the book of the decade if not the century. Underneath sensitivity lie the gifts of introversion. Our world needs both and we need each other. This book could bring back the balance. Join the Quiet Revolution.
​As a child, I was quiet, shy around strangers, liked to read, learn through observing, and feel close to others through touch and/or proximity, none of which was welcomed ...

Sensitives and Chronic Illness

A neurologically sensitive system is more likely to suffer from chronic illness and no one explains it better than this doctor living with chronic illness. It's a great read worth sharing to improve understanding and support:

Heart-Centered, Healing Sensitives

8/10/2018

 
The hallmark of a truly sensitive individual is the extent that their hearts feel, and in a superficial, callous, and greedy world, this often leads to heartbreak of an existential sort. Many of us were taught to distrust our emotions, leading to emotional storms inside our own bodies (via the all-receptive fasciae) causing inflammation, congestion, and even rigidity. Or perhaps the heart-centered acted out, instead of repressing, by defying and breaking rules, or worse, breaking other hearts. Either way, there is a way back. Science and spirituality are finally  connecting showing that spirituality is more scientific than most imagine, and now is the turning point. Dare to learn to trust yourself, again. When we learn to direct our hearts to a state of peace, regardless of and fully aware of what may be going on around us, we tap into potentially unlimited healing power for ourselves and for humanity. 
​Join Deepak Chopra and Gregg Braden in an hour-long talk that might just change your world in the way you've always wished for.

Sensitives Need Joy

8/10/2018

 
The ability to generate joy for yourself and others is life-changing and healing on so many levels, and sensitives do not thrive without joy. Find out how easy it is to shift your world in an instant toward being joyful wherever you are in life or in the world. It may take courage in some locations, but you may find the effort more than worth it.
​Note: Joy and happiness are not the same thing, and 
Ingrid Fetell Lee will tell you why.

Sensitive Does Not Mean Weak

8/10/2018

 
Picture
Sensitive does not mean weak.
Life affects sensitive people very deeply.
​When life affects you deeply, either strength is born or illness prevails, sometimes both.

Nurture your strengths for a happier and healthier life.
Highly sensitive people (HSPs), the gifted, autistics, and other neurodiverse and wonderful brains like those with ADD or ADHD are needed in this world, yet are more susceptible to environmental and emotional toxicity, increasing the likelihood of suffering from allergies, CFS, fibromyalgia, complex PTSD, etc. Few understand why life is so difficult. Until we, the people, clean up the planet and open our hearts, life can be less difficult with the varying perspectives found in the Sensitive category of this blog.

    I have the intelligence to know I am stupid, and the arrogance to experiment. Both are key scientific values.

    Goal

    To express solution-oriented arguments toward a healthier self and world.

    Insights

    No 'system' is corrupt;
    each person within it chooses to go along instead of doing what's right.
    ---
    No technology is bad, each person who uses it chooses to behave or not within it.
    ---
    If we agreed upon and prioritized a handful of core values, everything we say and do would reflect those values, even as time and technology changed.
    ---
    If we applied polarity physics to everyday life, we would recognize the importance of balancing the best of both light and dark aspects, instead of knee-jerking from one unbalanced extreme to another like a free radical.
    ---
    Emotions are vital yet never an adult's excuse for responding immaturely. Instead, see emotional spikes, whether positive or negative, as a sign to slow down, backup, and proceed with informed caution or change direction.
