This trait evolved as a survival strategy of the population and the valuable gifts of the sensitive are needed now more than ever. It’s the sensitive who care so deeply and often the first ones who step up to help people and make a difference in the world. HSPs are  often organizing ways to help others, starting non-profits, opening food banks, connecting volunteers, observing and fixing cracks in systems. HSPs are valuable as leaders- they are hard workers, have superior abilities to create powerful teams, lead by example and often most respected by the team, ability to sense people’s strengths and arrange the best teams, etc. They are gifted healers and often the ones in medical settings and some of the best healers of the world, using extra abilities and gifts 80% of the population doesn’t have. Our extra depth of processing helps us see ways to make things better and more efficient and organized. We are innovative and notice patterns others miss. Accessing the full power of the HSP supercomputer brain and our superpowers involves learning how to live in balance. You can’t pour from an empty cup, therefore it is important to manage energy levels. Practicing healthy boundaries, the right amount of self-care for your sensory system, and improving the ability to live in a centered space are essential. It’s important to do things your way following your powerful instincts. We need you thriving in the world. Enjoy this episode and please share!
