Introverts and Highly Sensitives: Move from the Mystery into the Magic

Posted on February 2nd, 2010 by Sarah Dolliver in 4-Step Cycle, Introvert and HSP Insights

Introverts and highly sensitive individuals often feel awkward, confused and at odds with life. They can be unsure of themselves, hesitant to ask or act. It doesn’t have to stay that way for you or for any other person you know. It is possible to feel comfortable, open and at ease in whatever you do or say. You can be confident and assured. That’s transforming the mystery into magic!

Where does the mystery come from? That’s easy. As we grow up with our families, go to school and learn to get along with others, we absorb that being different is not a good thing. Conformity becomes part of an unspoken language we all know. We need others to survive and give us what we need. We learn to compare ourselves to others to give us a sense of safety.

We are often falsely comparing themselves to others who are not like us…and coming up short. Why? It’s simply a number game because others outnumber us by about 3 to 1. We’ve also have copied what others do or say only to not find the same successes. All this leaves the us feeling frustrated, disappointed and often overwhelmed.  If the pattern continues, it often can lead to hopelessness and withdrawal.

I’ve felt it, too. Comparison and conformity play with our needs to be liked and accepted. One cannot survive this life alone, so these needs are close to your heart. When they are not met fully, it intensifies the feelings of being flawed, broken or missing something that others seem to have and you don’t. It can feel quite puzzling, like being in a hall of mirrors not knowing what is real and what is not.

Here’s where the magic comes in. The magic happens when you discover and believe that you are complete just as you are – part human, part spirit and totally wonderful. That’s when you start embracing all your innate gifts, talents and strengths – ones that have always been there, but you’ve kept below the surface until now. Life starts to flow. You are calm and centered. You feel your inner strength and it feels wonderful.

The secret of transforming the mystery to the magic lies in the first three steps of my 4-Step Cycle: Integrity, Awareness and Acceptance. These inner steps allow you to rewrite your past programming, freeing you from its bonds. Eventually, you reach the fourth step – Action – and when you do, taking that focused, aligned action will be so graceful and easy that it amazes you.
