I'm a highly sensitive woman. I can be like a sponge that absorbs everybody's problems, energy, and moods. I grew up in a house where there was no room for emotions. I learned to carry mine and others’ in silence. Years ago, I wasn't aware of this, and I lived drowning in overwhelm, stress, and anxiety. I’ve done a lot of inner work to let go of this unhealthy habit… And since I implemented this one non-negotiable, everything changed: I set strict boundaries. • I don't watch the news or allow anyone to talk to me about it (unless it's something that will directly affect me). • I don't gossip, or allow my family to tell me about other people's problems. If I can't help them, then there's no point. My inner peace is more important. • When someone around me is stressed or being negative, I visualize a huge glass between me and them. It reminds me that I can be there for someone without carrying their emotional turmoil. You might think it's rude, but it keeps me sane. Now I’m calmer, more grounded, and resilient. I learned that only when my inner world is at peace can I truly progress towards my goals and contribute to improving the world. ☀️ P.S. Your inner peace is not selfish. It’s the foundation of everything you’re building. That’s why I built HER Wild & Wise Home, a community rooted in somatic healing and Structured Spirituality for female solopreneurs who feel everything deeply. It's a safe space where you learn to feel your emotions, hold your boundaries, and build a life and business from inner alignment, without carrying everyone else’s weight. Join us for FREE here!
