Take Care of Your Introvert, Part 1
Did that title ruffle your feathers or soothe your soul? You see, there are some people who think that introverts just need to conform to how the rest of the world does things. NO! We are distinct and deserve our own room simply to be ourselves.
Your introvert is a set of attributes with which you’ve been blessed. Many of those attributes can be summed up in your quick mind and soft heart. You love playing with ideas and having deep discussions, especially around your passions. You also can be known for your divergent thinking, pointing out what others fail to see or taking things in a direction others never thought of. You are also caring and compassionate, thinking about other people and of their circumstances. This is why your heart may ache right now for what has happened from the Haiti earthquake.
But why do things differently than the majority of the population? Simply because you are different and that’s a good thing. Differences bring depth and dimension to life and deserve to be celebrated. That’s when the real richness of life begins.
It’s easy to follow what others do. Just be careful who you follow, because the wrong example can send you crashing. I used to think that I was “high maintenance” because I needed so much more rest and other special care than others I knew. Then I learned I was making a false comparison, such as saying an apple should be like a banana.
Taking care of yourself is all about what you need to be your best, not what others need or do. It’s a self-crafted formula or routine you follow just for you. Shaping your own customs allows you to fit it specifically to you like a fine set of clothes. And this is where the value starts to blossom, for you are taking care of your spirit as well as your body.
Inner Adventurers release the external world of norms, mores and expectations to live from their core essence. Living from their core, they are on a true course to a well-spent life of purpose and passion.

The headline didn’t ruffle my feathers at all. I sort of feel like I have to protect my introvert from a world that doesn’t get that introversion isn’t a disease or disorder. I feel like I have much to give as an introvert, and enjoy finding creative ways to do it. Looking forward to reading part two.
Good Day! I thought the headline might ruffle the feathers of those who think we don’t have anything special to care for. I see you DO realize that being this way is a gift! Enjoy! And thanks for commenting.
