189 Claim and Celebrate HSP Business Success

Business Miracles

As we cross the mid-year point, this is a great opportunity to check in and reflect on the past six months to acknowledge what you’ve accomplished. However, typically for highly sensitives, what also tends to immediate come to mind are all the things you have not yet accomplished. This tendency can so easily overshadow what you have created so far and cause you to want to quit. Yet, to get what you most want, the key is to celebrate how far you’ve come. This is the way we go from feeling hopeless to hopeful and staying the course rather than quitting and giving up.

In this episode I talk about the importance of claiming and celebrating success as a mark of highly sensitive leadership and how this essential practice of visibility and vulnerability is crucial to getting what we want in business and life. I discuss the two reasons HSPs are often so resistant to celebrate what has already been created and how we can shift this. I also share the concept of pacing, like when running a marathon, to stay engaged in the process of transformation in order to combat the experience of fatigue that we bump up against in the final stretch, where sabotage, lashing out, and defaulting to coping often occurs. This teaching is a great opportunity to check in, acknowledge how far you’ve come, fill up with some hope so you can keep going in your business and life growth. Which, ultimately, is about fulfilling and living your life purpose.

“It’s the final stretch of a marathon that’s most challenging because this is when the delirium of fatigue sets in…There is a sense that things are helpless, there’s a sense that things are hopeless and it’s right at that delirium of fatigue moment in running the marathon when you want to throw up your hands and quit.” – Heather Dominick
