Being sensitive is both a blessing and a curse - along with most things in life 😉
On the one hand, being sensitive gives us the capacity to really FEEL things out - and a lot of the time this leads to an ability to know, discern and work through things faster than others - simply because we are picking up on more information.
On the other, being sensitive can lead to a lot of issues - not being able to function normally, getting overwhelmed easily, getting to a place where it feels like in order to honor our needs, we have to limit - sometimes in a big way - the things we engage in, participate in and do, being in a state where we simply can't handle what others can and where we need a LOT more recovery time from 'normal' activities than others do.
When we are on the self love path, it can sometimes feel like in order to truly respect and love ourselves, we need to acknowledge our sensitivity in a way that leads to a feeling that we are having to limit our lives in ways that almost ends up feeling like we are going to have to live in a plastic bubble in order to 'be ok.'
This can then become something that actually HINDERS our life and life experience, leading us into a state where honoring our sensitivity means not living a full life and feeling really restrained in a way that we know deep down isn't actually healthy or life-supporting.
So how do we navigate this? Is there a way to support ourselves in our sensitivities, to acknowledge where our capacities and limits are, to really be kind to ourselves as we realize we aren't able to do as much as others - while ALSO working to actually BUILD UP our capacity, our ability to recover, our ability to tolerate things, so that we can become STRONGER and less rocked by our sensitivity?
Is it self loving to 'force' ourselves to do things that our sensitivity would have us not do? Is it ok to work towards becoming LESS sensitive or is this self rejection? If we are being totally self loving, does that mean that we are allowing ourselves to moderate our lives in such a way that we are not able to live and function normally?
Where's the balance between admitting where we need adjustments, and working towards becoming stronger so we don't need so much adjusting?
That's what we're exploring today.
