What is high sensitivity?
Hypersensitivity is a trait characterized by an increased sensitivity to stimuli, both internal and external. Highly sensitive people often experience emotions more intensely and react more strongly to the impressions of their surroundings. This can lead to you feeling overwhelmed more easily in stressful situations, which affects both your energy and general well-being.
Understanding your high sensitivity is the key to creating a life that promotes balance and harmony. When you learn to accept and adapt your lifestyle to your needs - You can reduce stress and regain control of your well-being.
