HOW TO INTERACT WITH YOUR SENSITIVITY? Part two.
- Third step - self-acceptance. I have repeatedly heard during consultations from sensitive people that they are so exhausted from their sensitivity that they would like to get rid of it, considering their sensitivity not as a virtue, but as a weakness. I am deeply convinced that there is no need to give up your sensitivity. It is important to learn how to interact with her. The step of accepting is very important, but you should not go to it if the first step has not been lived through, has not been worked out deeply enough, because while the pain is still strong, it is very difficult to move on to accepting. In this step, write down what the merits of your sensitivity are. But don't just write, but feel what you write. Speak out these advantages and do it as if you are an advocate of your sensitivity, and not just a lawyer, but the best (!).
- Fourth step - expand your understanding of sensitive people. Look for those people - they can be famous, unknown, historical, book characters, in general, any heroes who, in your opinion, combine well those qualities that are important to you. Try to feel this experience. Think and feel how exactly this could be with you. What do you need for this? How can you internally combine sensitivity with other qualities that are important to you? How can you strengthen these important qualities in your home? Feel it and write it down.
- Fifth step - the acquisition of new, constructive experience. Gradually embody new experiences. In small, affordable steps. Gained a new experience - write it down: describe your feelings, what you did, what is not yet so easy. Above all, take regular, small steps to gain new, constructive experiences with your sensitivities.
In conclusion, I would like to share a metaphor, but first I will share the thoughts that prompted it. A number of my sensitive clients talked about how they would like to become persistent, combative, strong and give up their sensitivity. When I heard about what customers want to become, a cactus was introduced to me. I don't think being a cactus is good or bad. This is a personal matter for each person. But for a moment I imagined if many people would be cacti - for me it is very monotonous. But a blooming cactus, on which there are many flowers, evokes a smile, quivering feelings, joy, surprise, delight. Guess what I associate flowers with? Yes, with sensitivity. Even if you want to acquire or enhance certain qualities, keep your beautiful flowers, take care of your peculiarity.
For me, sensitivity is a gift that is important to learn how to use.
