I'm Speaking...with Elizabeth West Ep 123 Resting is Absolutely Imperative for Introverts, Empaths & HSP'sHello lovelies! Thanks for listening! Rest and Recharging 😴 are absolutely imperative especially if you’re an introvert, even more so if you’re additionally a highly sensitive person and even more so if you’re additionally an empath. 😲Why? Because we get depleted and drained 🫗much faster than others who are not these same traits. Why? For example…. Because introverts we need alone time to recharge. 🚶🏽‍♀️Think of it like a cell phone battery… we don’t need to recharge all day every day, just when our batteries are low or ‘in the red’ (just like a cell phone). 🪫Most jobs are “extroverted”. For example, we’...

When I first heard this quote, I immediately fell in love with it. :) And everyone who I’ve mentioned it to also falls in love with it and starts to use it when they’re ‘in their head’. It’s interesting because none of us will really know what others truly think of us by ‘imagining’ what we think they ‘may’ think of us. But yet we always assume the worst (most times) on what others may think of us don’t we? I hope this quote he...

Throughout life, I've noticed that whenever I feel misunderstood, or ignored, or like I'm getting reprimanded for being myself, I start to 'pull back' and I start to diminish my light. Being an introvert and a highly sensitive person and an empath, I'm automatically a "sponge" to the energies of others around me and I have to remember to do the following so that I don't start going down a negative spiral: 1. To catch it 2. Remember that "what they think of me is none of my business" ...t...

This is similar to what I spoke about in my last podcast episode Ep 31 The Heart Knows Before the Mind Does. It's interesting how we are taught and "groomed" (especially women) to look 'outward' for advice and to ask, ask, ask. And to not ever look inward and to follow our instincts and what our intuition is telling us. I'm not speaking about anything that's harming someone else...I have too much empathy for that and I would never preach that. This is for the sole reason of us following our...
