In my experience, if you have dealt with anxiety problems in your life, there is a 90% chance that you are a “sensitive” person. Sensitivity is a double-edged sword: it is usually accompanied by high intelligence, creativity and the capacity for self reflection, and all of these qualities are great, of course. But sensitivity also has a downside — sensitive people tend to have more emotional issues and self esteem problems than their less sensitive friends or family members.
Because of this, it is really important that sensitive people learn to focus their attention, discipline their thinking and get an attiutude! Without this, the creativity and self reflection that sensitive people are known for can quickly turn to the “dark side” and cause them to obsess on unproductive thoughts and imagine worst-case scenarios. AND, they can find themselves trying to follow the lead of the less-sensitive people around them, instead of recognizing their own power (a disastrous mistake!).
So let me be very clear about this. Being sensitive is NOT a handicap or disadvantaged in ANY way! Sensitivity equals capability. The less sensitive a person is, the less capability they have (and very often, the less creativity they will have). And if you are a sensitive person who tends to demure to the less sensitive people around you, you’re making a huge mistake.
If any of this sounds familiar, and you recognize the need within yourself to buck up and get an attitude — to feel your own power — I highly recommend the “Attitude is NOT Optional!” coaching session available on our newest web site, www.Youniversellc.com . You’ll find the session here: http://www.youniversellc.com/coaching-sessions.html
You can also listen to a five-minute demo audio from this coaching session on the above page. And as you will see, I’m very passionate about this subject — the majority of my clients are sensitive people who have all the potential in the world, but are in serious need of an attitude to sustain them in life!
