The World Needs You to Thrive: Be Healthy, Balanced, and Productive with Julie and Willow

HSPs have the capability of making a huge difference in the world. In fact, we need more HSPs to step into heart-centered leadership roles and makers of positive change.  Your heart and your gifts are needed. But if we don’t know how to take care of ourselves in the right ways we are doing a disservice to the world by not showing up thriving. Most of what we have been taught about self-care doesn’t work for us. Learning how to practice the right types of self-care and learn to take care of your sensitive nervous system is the key to thriving as an HSP and helping your gifts emerge to help the world. If a healer/leader/educator/parent is wilting and in survival mode, how much can they help another? HSPs need to do things differently. Getting it right, means you can have enough energy to take care of you, your family, your community, and even the world. Self-care is NOT selfish. NOT practicing the right type of self-care eventually hurts everyone. Take turns at the front lines Rest in between with self-compassion Take control over what you can control Understand what you cannot control Slow down and listen internally the messages are there Get inspired by others and learn tools Be kind to yourself! Loving-kindness toward self is healing and gives you energy and vibrancy When you are thriving you... have more energy use your gifts to contribute to the world can be your best self love life follow your ambitions understand, love & accept yourself feel confident & secure know your value live in balance have a positive, fulfilling life of joy authentically reduce stress, overwhelm, anxiety achieve life & career goals are healthier learn how to support your sensitive nervous system feel in control of your life learn how to self-regulate improve your relationships learn how to emotionally regulate build greater internal resources & feel joy, happiness, calm and peace get calmer are kinder & more supportive of yourself increase self-compassion improve your mindset learn how to set & keep healthy boundaries get unstuck & remove obstacles live a happier life find balance stop worrying & overthinking know how to prepare for life changes learn how to support yourself better live life with intention feel fully alive are higher functioning to improve finances & live more comfortably feel renewed & live in a tranquil flow of life feel better Read show notes, check out our bios and websites at www.HSPpodcast.com
