Are You a Highly Sensitive Person?

Are you a highly sensitive person? If so, you are a gift.

Gifts you bring to this world:

1. High richness to the sensory details of life - texture in clothes, subtle colors in nature, beautiful sounds of music. These details tend to be more intense for highly sensitive people.

2. Ability to be aware of greater nuances in meaning - you are more cautious when taking action and have the ability to consider all options and outcomes.

3. Greater emotional awareness - this awareness allows for richer creative work and greater response to pain thus resulting in taking better care of one’s own health.

4. Greater ability to be creative - 70% of people who are highly sensitive are introverted which is a trait that ia commonly found in creative occupations - actors, musicians, artists, etc.

5. Greater empathy - ability to experience deep compassion for others. Highly Sensitive people have a hyperactive mirror neuron system in their brains which is responsible for the ability to show compassion. Dalai Lama says, “Empathy is the most precious human quality.” Are you a highly sensitive person? What are your strengths?
