The Sensitive and Neurodivergent Podcast with Julie Bjelland

Willow and  I talk about resiliency today. We share what we are doing to stay resilient and how to access it.  Additionally, I have observed these 10 patterns of what HSPs are doing right now that are helping them to stay resilient.  Practice Self-Compassion: Every HSP I have talked to all over the world who has been practicing self-compassion and has named this to be one of the main reasons they are staying resilient right now. Resilience: HSPs actually have a lot of it and sometimes just need to learn a few tools to access it. Creativity: Activating the creative centers in your brain has a calming effect on the brain! Get creative! Practice healthy boundaries and limit exposure to the news:  It is recommended to limit how much news you take in and only to read enough to stay informed, but not watch it visually. It’s been found that visually watching it increases the feeling of fear and panic.  Avoid watching it and instead read-only to gain what you need to stay informed, but don’t dive deeply into an overwhelmed feeling from it.  Also, limit or avoid people who are toxic or emitting too much negativity right now. You need to take care of your wellness as a priority at this time.   Present focus: Whenever fear or anxiety creep in, focus on what you do have right now and what you are grateful for and that will activate calming centers in your brain. You can learn more about how to activate calming centers that deactivate stress centers here.  Grounded: Having a grounding process right now would be incredibly helpful to calm your whole system.  I find that water, plants, and pets can feel very grounding. Daily task list-stay productive: Setting small goals for yourself that make you feel good seems to be especially helpful for HSPs. Routine self-care: Taking time to honor yourself with the right type of self-care for you is essential.  Self-soothing: I’ve created some meditations and relaxation techniques for HSPs that you might feel calming. Monitor personal energy: Don’t give all your energy points away to everyone and leave none for yourself. Taking care of yourself mind, body and spirit are important right now. If you are balanced, then everyone around you is too and your immune system stays the strongest. Enjoy and please share.

Give yourself this gift and allow yourself to relax your body, mind and spirit right now. Take a half hour for self-care if you can, beginning with this 10-minute meditation, followed by another 20 minutes of your own time to reflect and relax in self-care. 

This is a time for us to reflect on our journey and what this pivot might mean for our lives and the ways that we might consciously and intentionally grow.
