Many high achievers who are sensitive are experiencing anxiety, stress, and overwhelm as they pick up the powerful energies around them, including fear, fury, and hopelessness. I’m one of them, picking up those intense feelings, and sensing shifts and events often before they happen (even from afar). Regulating our nervous system is crucial now – and quite a challenge.

Earlier this month, I shared that while I often choose one word or focus, this year I decided on three perspectives: Trust, Curiosity, and Wonder.

These serve as both lenses and practices – a way to view and work with thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions, and circumstances. This approach helps us stay present, come from love, and remain discerning rather than judgmental in these intense times.

No, I haven’t been perfect at it. Yet even imperfect practice creates transformation.

This framework, employing trust, curiosity, and wonder, offers a potent way to break free from the trances that lead to reactivity. Instead of being trapped by our emotions, we can be informed by them, feel them, and allow them to move through us. This enables us to think more critically, be more creative, and see more possibilities while staying deeply connected.

In future posts, I’ll explore how this transforms how high achievers master their Power Drivers – fundamentally shifting how they think, feel, believe, and create in times of intense collective energy.

How are you experiencing these collective energies? What strategies help you stay sensitive and aware while remaining centered and grounded? I’d love to hear what’s working for you – and challenging you!
