ON TRANSFORMATION
Practicing Compassion

At the March TeleGathering, we shared our thoughts about welcoming and accepting our sensitivity, and found ourselves drawn to the topic of compassion for self.

One of the challenges we sensitives face is finding ways to cope with our inner critic. Many of us learned early on to ask ourselves, “What’s wrong with me?” We learned that our reactions were not “normal,” so we trained ourselves into a habit of self-criticism that can get easily out of control, in large part due to our natural intensity. Even worse is when we beat ourselves up for beating ourselves up!

How can we break this cycle? One approach is to practice being compassionate with ourselves. As Sensitive Souls, we know a lot about being compassionate toward others. What would it be like to extend the same degree of understanding to yourself? One participant from the Gathering thinks of herself as a three or four year old child and finds it quite easy to be gentle with herself then!

Something to experiment with: Try on a self-compassion commitment, even if it’s just for one day. Here are two examples of what that might look like: “I am committed to being as compassionate with myself as I am to others” or “I am committed to releasing self-judgment and choosing a new thought.” I’d love to hear from you about your experiences with this idea.

ARE YOU HIGHLY SENSITIVE?
Recent Article Published

My recent article, “Are You Highly Sensitive?” was published last month on multiple Internet sites, including expressionsofsoul.com, alumbo.com, and holisticjunction.com to name a few. Please celebrate with me reaching many Sensitive Souls out there who have yet to discover the truth of who they are!

I’ve reprinted the initial paragraph of the article here:

Do you often feel overwhelmed by your environment or the people around you? Has anyone ever called you shy – or worse: ‘too sensitive?’ Do you care deeply about EVERYTHING? You may be a Highly Sensitive Soul – a person of deep empathy and high intensity, with powerful intuition, awareness, and intelligence.
