Welcome To My First Blog
Hi I'm Dahlia and welcome to my first blog ever! This blog is about the HSP (Highly sensitive person). For as long as I can remember, I have been a highly sensitive person. I have always been highly sensitive to people, energies, emotions, and various other stimuli. For many years, I struggled with my sensitive nature and after experiencing many difficult life circumstances , I have been on the path to self discovery and healing. During a healing session I had many years ago, a practitioner mentioned that I was a highly sensitive person and suggested a number of resources to help me along the way. After the healing session, I became curious about the HSP topic and began my journey from surviving to thriving as a highly sensitive person. I have grown and learned alot over the years, but after the recent sudden loss of my partner ( he was my best friend and love of my life), my sensitivity has been effected in ways I can't even explain (perhaps in another post). The experience of his loss has been excrutiatingly painful and when he died, I felt like I died too. This experience has propelled me to a whole new level of healing. After a mentor recently suggested I start a blog, I chose to write about the highly sensitive person. At first, I was reluctant to create a blog. I tend to be shy and introverted and had never posted on social media before. Because I felt driven and inspired, I decided to no longer let my ego run the show and decided to create this blog with a sense of purpose. Although I don't have it all mapped out yet, this blog is intended to serve many purposes. Some purposes of this blog include:
To provide information, tools, and resources about the HSP
To be of service or support other HSP's in some way
To connect with other HSPs and like minded people
To learn more about the HSP
To evolve as a writer and learn how to blog
This post is a brief introductory to this blog. In the next post, I will describe what an HSP actually is in more detail. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Feel free to comment or request any topics for this blog and again, welcome to the blog!
With love,
Dahlia

Here is a list of 17 ways to practice gratitude during difficult times (such as the pandemic). This list may also be a helpful way to raise your vibration and expand your sense of gratitude as well!
1. Journal or write a gratitude list of 3-5 things (or more) that you are grateful for each day. Getting specific is a great way to really tune into a grateful mindset!
2. Write a thankyou note or text to express your gratitude to another person.
3. Express gratitude on social media.
4. Create a gratitude jar or box and place small pieces of paper expressing what you are grateful for. You can tap into your creativity and decorate the jar or box as well!
5. Being of service to others is also a great way to tap into the emotions of gratitude!
6. Place a written reminder taped to your mirror or next to your bed to remind you to practice gratitude.
7. Gratitude rocks or trees are great ways to express or symbolize something (or things) you are grateful for!
8. Look for ways to learn and grow from difficult situations. See the positive aspects of situations or look for something positive hidden behind the challenges that are occurring.
9. Join an online gratitude support group.
10. Make a list of all the goals and accomplishments you have achieved in your life. This may also include a list of your gifts and abilities.
11. Use Journal prompts (i.e. I am thankful for/because)... Fill in the spaces. There are various themes to choose from on platforms such as Pinterest.
12. Shift the focus from what you lack to what you do have in your life.
13. Gratitude guided meditations are another way to practice gratitude. It can also be incorporated into spiritual practices such as prayer.
14. Practice being in the present moment and witness what is around you and what you are grateful for in the beauty of nature. Become aware of the miracles around you and really feel the emotion of gratitude! This can help attract more positivity into your life!
15. Create a gratitude log where you record all the positive events or occurrences of the day or week.
16. Channel your creativity and create a gratitude collage or board.
17. Shift the focus from what you have no control over and respond to what you can change or where you can make a difference.
With love,
Dahlia
