In celebration of The Highly Sensitive Person

As HSPs, we often see the downsides of our sensitivity and are all too aware of the challenges it brings.

But when you know what you are (an HSP), you can let go of what you’re not (the norm) and see beyond the challenges to what can easily be missed (the strengths).

Frankly, I don’t think we celebrate the positives of being an HSP anywhere near enough.  The characteristics I list below aren’t exclusive to HSPs.  But – at the risk of appreciating ourselves – in my experience we are:

Tenacious

Helpful

Excitable

 

Heart-directed

Inspiration-prone

Generous

Hardworking

Loving

Young at heart

 

Steadfast

Eager to learn

Natural world lovers

Sincere

Interested

Thoughtful

Integrous

Vibe readers

Energised (by depth, beauty and connection)

 

Principled

Engaging

Reliable

Spirited

Observant

Nurturing

What positives would you celebrate with the acronym?
