This HSP is well rested

Just read a book by Dr. Elaine Aron on the Highly Sensitive Person. I sighted the book at MPH not too long ago. It attracted me at first sight, or rather, first glance. It wasn't difficult for me to know that the description fitted me like a glove.

Are you one also? check it out in the website > http://www.hsperson.com/

The main questions that Dr. Aron asked her "patients" include:

Are you easily overwhelmed by such things as bright lights, strong smells, coarse fabrics, or sirens nearby?
Do you get rattled when you have a lot to do in a short amount of time?
Do you make a point of avoiding violent movies and TV shows?
Do you need to withdraw during busy days, into bed or a darkened room or some other place where you can have privacy and relief from the situation?
Do you make it a high priority to arrange your life to avoid upsetting or overwhelming situations?
Do you notice or enjoy delicate or fine scents, tastes, sounds, or works of art?
Do you have a rich and complex inner life?
When you were a child, did your parents or teachers see you as sensitive or shy?

My answer to all of these are YES, YES, YES.

Today is a good day for this HSP. No work, no leaving of the house, no one around me. Just me and my books and my thoughts. What a good rest.

Wonder if Jesus was a HSP.
Wonder why God made me a HSP. I believe He created a need in me for Him. The world is too overwhelming for me. So I run to my secret place to meet with Him.
Wonder how can my HS traits be used for His glory. Hmm... I believe He made HS traits to bring His love and sensitive sides to His people.

Sensitivity may not be viewed as a positive thing to most people. But to God, it can be a gift. I will use this gift.

Most of my blog entries are not about the actual things that happened, but about what I am thinking about. That is perhaps the reason why this blog is called "Swirling thoughts in my head", and not "Eventful activities in my life". (:
