Unlocking the Path to Your Best Self

Life is a constant process of learning and growth, especially when it comes to our hypersensitive qualities. That’s totally okay, though. The more that we learn and self-reflect, the more we discover about ourselves—and that’s a really exciting journey! The key to truly conquering this process and realizing your full potential is to acknowledge and accept both your strengths and your weak points (including your hypersensitivities); that way, you’ll know exactly what and how you can improve yourself in the future.

By taking this quiz, you’ve already taken an amazing first step in your self-improvement journey. To help keep the momentum going, we’ve provided even more general tips and tools to help you accept your hypersensitive traits and grow into the very best version of yourself:

  • View each day as a new opportunity. It can be a huge help to view your life as an ongoing novel. At the end of the day, you’re the one who decides what happens in your life—all the page-turning plot twists and thrilling character arcs are entirely your design. Simply making the decision to wake up and say “Today is a new opportunity” can be an incredibly empowering way to make the most of your time.
  • Live in the here and now. Being present is all about existing and embracing the present moment rather than being tugged into thoughts about the past or future. Performing mindfulness meditation, practicing self-forgiveness, and even doing grounding exercises can help you live in today rather than stressing about the following day.
  • Strive to sleep 8-9 hours each night. It’s hard to be the best version of yourself when your mind is muddled with exhaustion. If you’re feeling tired, that might also leave you more prone to some of your hypersensitivity triggers. Start by figuring out what time you need to be up in the morning, and then work backward.
  • Move around. Getting your blood pumping is an excellent way to keep both your mind and body in great shape. Whether you’re going for a nature walk, biking around the neighborhood, swimming at your local pool, or busting out some moves at home, a little bit of exercise can help you feel better and think more clearly.
  • Start a gratitude journal. Grab a notebook (or even a piece of paper) and start jotting down everything that you’re thankful for, like a supportive loved one or a quick commute to work. The more you practice gratitude, the easier it will be to focus on the positives in your life, which may help balance out some negative elements that may trigger your sense of hypersensitivity.
