185 Setting Business Boundaries as an HSP

I share how to get clear about your HSP needs and then specifically how to work with time to honor your needs, effectively communicate your needs to others (a.k.a. set boundaries) all so that you can be your most creative and profitable self in your business. “Utilizing 'off, on, and in' gives you the opportunity to prioritize self-study.” - Heather Dominick.

In the journey of becoming and being an HSP in business and leadership, it's important to consistently engage in the process of shifting from an untrained HSP to a trained HSP. All in order to create with more ease. However, as HSPs we often get caught up in the false belief that in order to succeed in business and leadership we need to do it the same way as the other 80% who are not highly sensitive. So we forgo the value of paced process in exchange for "playing a bigger game hustle" which tends to toss us into the HSP Coping Cycle of Fear/Anxiety/Pushing/Hiding/Shame/Recovery, rather than motivating us to create productively. “The places where you are not inspired are actually the places where you are meant to be paying deep attention.” - Heather Dominick.

In this podcast episode, I read an excerpt from my book "Different", where I vulnerably share my struggle to write my book. I came to realize I was guided to write it because I was meant to teach HSPs not just how to market and sell in their business differently, but how to step up and lead as a highly sensitive to create greater impact (and income) with a lot less effort through these extraordinary times. “My time to lead from my highly sensitive strengths has come.” - Heather Dominick.

In this podcast episode, I discuss the importance of staying above the fray of socialized trends, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. I share how our social self is born as a response to pressure from the world around us. And how if we stay stuck in this comparison trap we are privileging anxiety instead of choosing privilege of agency. Most importantly, I share what you can do instead. “Comparison is an act of giving in to the socialized trends.” - Heather Dominick.

In this podcast episode, I go deep into what privilege of agency is, and what it isn't. I share my own journey of how I developed this concept and how I've used it to make massively impactful changes in how I operate. I discuss how it specifically relates to you as a highly sensitive in business and leadership and why this particular teaching is more important now than ever. So you will be able to step out of comparison traps and step up into your purpose and be the change you want to see in the world while also creating the personal success and freedom you desire. "When we are in our shadows and coping mechanisms we have given up our privilege of agency in service to someone else's needs." - Heather Dominick.

As a highly sensitive in business and leadership, living on purpose is the ultimate form of self-care. This requires you to face your overwhelm and learn that, as A Course in Miracles states, "peace is part of you and requires only that you be there to embrace any situation in which you are."Your life purpose is not what you do, or something you find, but is instead something you choose in every decision, action and interaction. It's not a legacy we leave, but a legacy we live. Our life purpose takes courage to feel what we naturally don't want to feel. “Every relationship becomes a lesson of love.” - Heather Dominick.

In this podcast episode, I go deep into what containment is NOT, what containment IS, and how we can shift from overwhelm and overprotection into focus and flow. I discuss how the act of developing discomfort resilience is the opposite of overprotection, and is instead about taking personal responsibility for your emotions, recognizing that they don't have to control you. It is not the automatic HSP response, but it is a doable, teachable and important skill to master in spite of what's happening around you and in the world at large, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership. “Suppressing, ignoring, soothing your emotions won't make them go away." - Heather Dominick.

Did you know research shows that a person who sets (and achieves) goals tends to have higher motivation, higher self-esteem and a greater sense of self-confidence and autonomy? Setting an achievable goal also gives a boost to your systolic blood pressure (SBP). However, it wouldn't surprise me if, as a highly sensitive, your experience with goal setting has been quite different. Here's why: setting goals rooted in comparison or based on what you think you "should be" doing actually lowers your blood pressure. Which slows you down, and has you feel like you're trudging through mud - with no motivation to actually take the actions needed to accomplish the goal. “We are the balance to the other 80 percent.” - Heather Dominick.

There's no reward for being over-busy except burnout. That old-century definition of success, "the busier you are the more you've gotten done" is over. As we continue to live through exceptional world events, learning to consciously use your nervous system to stay focused is much more effective for us HSPs in business and leadership than a never ending to-do list. “Consistency is more important than life.” - Heather Dominick.
