Summary

Is making decisions tough for you? Do you spend sleepless nights agonizing over what to do? Are you afraid to hurt someone's feelings or are you afraid of the consequences when you’re faced with a tough choice? As HSPs we often have a real fear of making the wrong decision and this can leave us feeling frozen and afraid to move forward spending countless hours agonizing over what to do. This is not only tiring emotionally but physically and spiritually as well. And if we don’t know to look for it, decision fatigue can be hard to recognize disguising itself as just a general sense of feeling weary from our environment and all the things we come up against every day as HSPs. Today we’re talking about making choices and decision fatigue, how it affects us as HSPs and how we can make the process a bit easier.

The Healthy Sensitive's Podcast Leah Burkhart A podcast for highly sensitive people and introverts who want to live BIG (go after big dreams, serve the world in big ways, and have big adventures)...but still keep their health and their sanity in the process. Getting of Wisdom (Version 2) by Henry Handel Richardson Loyal Books Henry Handel Richardson was the pseudonym of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson, a writer who was born in 1870 to a reasonably well-off family which later fell on hard times. The author's family lived in various Victorian towns and from the age of 13 to 17 Richardson attended boarding school at the Presbyterian Ladies' College in Melbourne, Victoria. It's this experience that feeds directly into The Getting of Wisdom. Laura Tweedle Rambotham, the main character, is the eldest child of a country family. She is a clever and highly imaginative child, given to inventing romantic stories for the entertainment of her younger siblings, and an avid reader. She is also both proud and sensitive and her mother finds her difficult to handle. Her mother is the widow of a barrister who supports her family in genteel poverty on her earnings from embroidery. At the age of twelve Laura is sent off to boarding school in Melbourne. Her experiences at school shock and humiliate the unworldly Laura. The gi Highly Opinionated 3 Guys from different backgrounds discuss current events as well as fictional entertainment topics.

So... this podcast is full of random things I have learned and/or are learning as a chaplain, coach and minister. The things that I share here will be things that are highly personal to me. I hope they are both life-giving and interesting. ~ Coach Rus Willette
