Life as an Introvert

Introvert
Oh the life of an introvert!
 
Which is also the life of an empath, or HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).
 
And when you are all three….
 
Just as much as we need their understanding,
 
We really need them to have a sense of humor!
 
It’s tough making you’re way through life overwhelmed and constantly on sensory overload.
 
When your nervous system is in overdrive, it’s pretty much game over!
 
Oh how we wish we were normal, and it was easy to get excited about plans and events.
 
I’ve always said, everything sounds fun in the future…
 
But when it gets down to it, and it’s time to go…whaa. whaaa.
 
Usually the most excitement we feel is when our plans are cancelled!
 
So, I ask, if you have a friend who is an introvert, an empath, or an HSP, don’t leave them out.
 
Invite them, include them.
 
Just know,
that they won’t know,
if they’re actually coming until 5 minutes before,
they most likely will be arriving late,
and their stay might be short.
 
But love them, laugh with them, and appreciate the effort it takes.
 
These sensitive beings have all kinds of wonderful qualities that make them unique, special and unlike anyone you’ve ever known.
 
Send them that invite, just know that the term R.S.V.P. does not apply to them.
 
In love and light!

Negativity

Negativity

Negativity is a dark cloud.
An easy trap to fall into.
When all you can see is what is going wrong, negativity becomes your bitter friend.
You can also be the most positive person around, and if all you are surrounded with is blame, shame, complain, you too can fall into this darkness.
We must protect our energies, choose our surroundings, and decide our tribe of people we want to be around.
As an empath, I really have to be careful with this one, as I tend to take on the energies of others.
When things go dark, it is hard to find the light.
But, if I can remember to harness my shield, withdraw from groups of gossip, repel attacks of judgement, and return to who I really am, it makes things so much easier to find all the good in the world.
I can then see my light.
I can be a point of inspiration, a place of comfort and a person of authenticity.
And that is who I choose to be.
With that, comes beauty and wonderful opportunities in my life.
I get to experience life from a place of hope.
I get to see, and be grateful for all the things I’m blessed with.
My hope is that we can all look for that silver lining in every situation. Not everything that happens can be changed, but we CAN change what we do with it.
In love and light! and distance from negativity!
