Conscious living means paying attention to what supports our mind, body, and soul to help us live fulfilling, healthy lives. As sensitive people, we are exposed to and more affected by stress, environmental concerns, the energy of the people around us, and what we eat! Overwhelm, anxiety, brain fog, low energy and mood, skin problems, pain, chronic health conditions, etc., can all improve when we make conscious choices about what is right for us and what isn’t. Sometimes that means we do things out of the box, too, and we want to encourage and support you to pave your own path that works for you. Mind Manage stress, set boundaries, and live consciously. What supports you and what doesn’t? Lowering your stress will have a significant impact on your health. Body Food is medicine, and it’s even more true for HSPs! What we put in our body, what is absorbed in our skin (the largest organ), and what we are exposed to daily in our environment can all significantly impact our health and well-being. Are you eating whole, healthy foods? Processed foods aren’t good for anyone, especially HSPs! What products are you using on your skin and cleaning with around your home? Are they natural or filled with chemicals that might be hurting you? -Your body gives you cues about your wellness. With increased insula activation, you are even more conscious of how your body reacts. Pay attention. Slow down and listen. Soul Living in a meaningful way, doing work, hobbies, volunteering, etc. that fulfill you is especially important for HSPs. Spend time every day in nature. It’s a reset button for us and incredibly good for our wellness! Trust your flow and know that what works for you might be different than others. Spend time with nature every day. Take time to yourself every day. Slow down and pay attention. Pay attention, be conscious, and be intentional. When you eat something, how do you feel after? Set boundaries when you are around people that make you feel icky. Is the energy of your home positive or chaotic? Are there things you can do to improve it? Are you overgiving to others and under-giving to yourself? Honor what makes you feel your best.
