Taking care of yourself physically plays a major role in balancing your life as an HSP. Use these three tips for developing more physical wellness for yourself.
2. So, you’re a highly sensitive person. You probably know all about taking care of
yourself mentally and emotionally, right? But do you know that you need to
take care of yourself physically as well?
Your physical wellbeing is directly tied to your mental and emotional welfare.
This doesn’t just mean eating your fruits and veggies. Taking care of yourself
physically plays a major role in balancing your life as an HSP.
Use these three tips for developing more physical wellness for yourself.
4. We have all heard this recently. Busy is the new
“I’m good.” As if being busy means we are being
productive, useful, and helpful. This is not the
truth.
Maybe you need to stop multitasking (you know
it hinders your productivity, right?). Maybe you
need to take a night off that second side hustle.
Maybe you just need to plan a day to do nothing
but sit and read.
Whatever your slowdown is, do it.
5. Everyone, even those who are not HSPs, need to slow down and take care.
Being “busy” is not only physically exhausting, but it can also be a burden on
your already sensitive emotions and mentality. This can begin to impede on
what little downtime you have as well as your sleep.
7. Often time’s highly sensitive people
prefer to spend their downtime at
home, sometimes alone. That is all well
and good, but everyone needs
socialization.
Try to find other HSPs that you can
spend a refreshing Friday night with.
This may be a night in, or an evening
at a coffee shop, chatting about your
week.
Socialization is part of human nature,
but it may take time to find your tribe.
9. Only you can stand up for yourself. You must advocate on multiple levels as an
HSP.
First, you must advocate by simply doing your best to take care of yourself.
Slow down, socialize, eat your fruits and veggies, drink water, and get eight
hours of sleep!
10. However, you must also advocate for
what is best for you.
This can be going to your supervisor
with an issue at work or asking for a
second opinion on a medical diagnosis.
You know your mind and your body, and
only you can stand up for yourself.
11. Wellness tips and self-care often
go hand in hand. Sometimes
what is doing best for ourselves
is doing something we do not
want to do. However, we all need
to take care of ourselves.
