179 Reduce Overwhelm with the Science of Containment

The key to reducing overwhelm, especially as a highly sensitive in business and leadership, is to build discomfort resilience through containment as an act of self-care. Containment is NOT about suppressing, ignoring, or soothing your emotions. It is instead about allowing the experience of your uncomfortable emotions without staying stuck in them, and then turning to HSP energy management tools I’ve created like the Order Form to the Universe (OFTU) to support you with accessing your highly sensitive strengths.   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.   “Our energy, our emotions tend to be felt more deeply by those of us who are highly sensitive.” – Heather Dominick Listen and Learn: 5:04: How to grow from personal interactions 5:14: What is discomfort resilience 9:07: Things that discomfort resilience is not 12:21: What are the three elements of containment “We are faced in any given moment with potentially having our nervous system hijacked.” – Heather Dominick   Links and Resources: Get your copy of Heather’s book DIFFERENT: The Highly Sensitive Leadership Revolution: http://www.differentthebook.com Get your copy of the HSE Training Kit: Stop The Overwhelm: http://www.stoptheoverwhelm.com Get your copy of the HSE Assessment and Success Guide: http://www.myhsetype.com Learn more about this episode of Business Miracles at https://www.businessmiracles.com/179
