Under the Sturgeon Moon

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?

My Superpower.

I was born lucky enough to have inherited a trait that now serves me well. Sadly, it hasn’t always been that way, ( many stories there).

Along with up to 20-30% ( the figure varies), I’m classed as an HSP – A Highly Sensitive Person.

Carl Jung ( 1875~1961) was the first person to recognise that some people were born with an ‘innate sensitiveness’. But he spoke about it from a child’s perspective.

American psychologist Elaine Aron ( 1944~)  addressed the adult view of it  in her book published in 1996 The Highly Sensitive Person : How to thrive when the world overwhelms you. It was then almost 30 years ago when I picked that book up for the first time that I recognised myself.

In true HSP style, I’m a tad overwhelmed now by the amount of notes I have in front of me, which I made yesterday when I read what our new prompt would be.

So, I shall leave this be, go walk with my dog in the woods and breathe.
